00:00:02.860 Someone is trying to frame us.
00:00:05.160 Until our names are cleared.
00:00:07.700 We're fugitives from interval.
00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.
00:00:12.840 Espionage?
00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?
00:00:16.580 Better.
00:00:17.400 Is there love language?
00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno-thriller
00:00:21.360 and romantic comedy.
00:00:24.180 We make up our own rules.

00:00:27.400 Now streaming on Paramount Plus.
00:00:30.660 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:32.560 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:42.000 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:00:43.660 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:45.280 Today we are looking back at one of the most chilling
00:00:47.480 shooting sprees in our nation's history.
00:00:51.620 It was just over one year after 9-11.
00:00:54.220 And for three weeks in October of 2002,
00:00:57.280 the D.C. area was under siege.
00:01:00.000 No one, no one, it seemed, was safe.
00:01:03.920 Attacks targeted people from every walk of life
00:01:05.880 doing the most common of tasks.
00:01:08.300 Pumping gas, shopping, mowing the lawn,
00:01:12.240 just walking, just walking down the street.
00:01:15.660 At first, law enforcement thought the shooter
00:01:17.460 was likely a white, older man,
00:01:19.400 perhaps with military experience.
00:01:21.280 But as they pieced together the clues,
00:01:23.640 the reality was much different.
00:01:25.500 Today we are going to take a fascinating look
00:01:28.020 into the Beltway Sniper case,
00:01:30.620 and we are thrilled to be joined by someone
00:01:32.400 who was working for the FBI at that time.
00:01:35.900 Jim Clemente is truly a living legend
00:01:38.340 whose own personal story is also fascinating.
00:01:40.820 He's a former FBI profiler
00:01:42.380 who went on to bring his expertise to the small screen
00:01:45.140 and now has a number of exciting projects
00:01:47.740 that we'll get into in a bit.
00:01:49.160 Jim Clemente, welcome to the show.
00:01:55.360 Very great to be here.
00:01:56.780 I really appreciate all the work that you do,
00:01:59.260 getting out all this amazing, true crime.
00:02:02.420 Oh, Jim, thank you for saying that from you.
00:02:04.360 That's a great compliment
00:02:05.100 because I know you've devoted your life
00:02:06.300 to catching bad guys and talking about it
00:02:08.580 and helping people understand the process
00:02:10.000 and how it's done.
00:02:11.680 I've learned from you
00:02:12.560 and our listeners and viewers are about to as well
00:02:15.040 if they haven't caught your work yet.
00:02:16.820 But this case, I remember this so well,
00:02:19.920 I was just about to move to the D.C. area.
00:02:23.060 Wow.
00:02:23.560 And so I was watching it, you know, with great interest
00:02:25.780 and thankfully had not yet gotten there.
00:02:27.920 But the thing that was just so terrifying about it was
00:02:30.780 there was no way of preventing
00:02:32.840 other than staying in your house all day
00:02:35.520 and not doing any of the normal things you would do.
00:02:38.140 There was absolutely no way of preventing it
00:02:39.940 from happening to you
00:02:40.860 because like I say, it could literally have been
00:02:43.180 you were just walking down the street
00:02:45.260 that there was no method, it seemed,
00:02:47.920 to how they chose their victims.
00:02:50.500 Yeah, there was a very random process going on.
00:02:53.000 And with snipers, that's generally the case.
00:02:56.440 Snipers will actually have absolutely no relationship
00:02:59.700 to their victims.
00:03:00.940 They actually choose a method of operation
00:03:03.560 that distances themselves from their victims.
00:03:07.180 They want to feel like God,
00:03:09.320 taking life from afar and above.
00:03:11.000 And because of that,
00:03:12.920 they typically pick random victims
00:03:15.340 that just happen into their purview.
00:03:17.600 But in that case, when that was going on,
00:03:20.160 there were so many people
00:03:22.160 who were putting up double blankets
00:03:25.440 over all their windows in their houses,
00:03:27.280 who were, when they went to,
00:03:29.080 had to go to the grocery store,
00:03:30.380 were pulling up right next to the front
00:03:32.220 or actually crawl walking into the grocery stores
00:03:35.780 or while they're getting gas.
00:03:37.560 It was a terrifying time
00:03:38.900 in that whole Washington, D.C. area.
00:03:41.320 It's not like today, you know,
00:03:42.940 when post-COVID ordering your groceries
00:03:45.740 is not uncommon.
00:03:47.420 People know how to do that.
00:03:48.500 They know how to do most things
00:03:49.520 without leaving their house.
00:03:51.100 The world has now been set up to allow that.
00:03:53.560 Back then, you had to leave the house.
00:03:55.740 You had to go outside, you know?
00:03:57.580 And it was like places like Michael's.
00:04:00.200 You know, who hasn't been to Michael's,
00:04:01.780 you know, to go get whatever,
00:04:03.340 a baking tray for the holiday cookies
00:04:05.380 you're making or something?
00:04:06.480 Home Depot, exactly, or your gas.
00:04:09.700 You know, it's like I read to,
00:04:11.400 and I didn't remember this from the time,
00:04:12.720 but some gas station owners
00:04:13.980 were setting up big tarps around the area
00:04:16.800 where you'd pump your gas
00:04:18.140 so that you could feel confident
00:04:19.780 no one would shoot you.
00:04:22.200 That it was a month of hell.
00:04:24.800 It was.
00:04:25.580 It was the most direct, horrific,
00:04:32.160 terroristic event since 9-11.
00:04:34.560 And it was seen as,
00:04:37.420 since it was within a year
00:04:38.880 of when 9-11 happened,
00:04:40.700 it was seen as potentially
00:04:42.320 an extension of 9-11.
00:04:44.780 People thought that this could be
00:04:46.780 some outside terrorist
00:04:48.720 who was running amok
00:04:50.360 in the Washington, D.C. area,
00:04:52.560 particularly because D.C.
00:04:53.860 is such a political place,
00:04:55.980 and all these shootings happened
00:04:57.880 right around D.C.
00:04:59.120 and even right into D.C.
00:05:01.360 And those things got people worried,
00:05:04.040 especially people in the FBI.
00:05:06.320 Yeah, I remember it was like
00:05:07.600 the three things,
00:05:09.060 not to compare,
00:05:10.040 because 9-11 is in a class of its own,
00:05:11.780 but we had,
00:05:12.740 we suffered that terrorist attack.
00:05:14.140 Then the anthrax scare came,
00:05:16.660 and then within 12 months or so,
00:05:19.500 we're looking at the D.C. sniper attacks,
00:05:21.960 these seemingly at random,
00:05:24.520 and, you know,
00:05:25.000 people may remember 10 people died,
00:05:26.380 but 20 people were shot.
00:05:28.300 I mean, 13 as part of that one month,
00:05:30.700 but it actually wound up going
00:05:31.920 well beyond that,
00:05:32.720 which we'll get to.
00:05:33.500 Well beyond, yeah.
00:05:34.320 So it truly was terror,
00:05:37.180 events of terror back then,
00:05:39.040 and people wonder why,
00:05:40.520 you know, now,
00:05:41.040 at the benefit of hindsight,
00:05:42.020 we submitted to the security state,
00:05:44.060 you know,
00:05:44.260 the expansion of all these programs
00:05:45.820 and spying and so on.
00:05:47.420 We were scared.
00:05:49.440 Yeah, well, we were vulnerable,
00:05:50.900 and we had to do something as a country
00:05:52.940 to sort of counteract that.
00:05:54.920 I think 9-11 taught us
00:05:56.500 not only that we were vulnerable,
00:05:59.020 but that we were extremely lucky
00:06:01.680 because that attack could have killed
00:06:04.440 upwards of hundreds of thousands of people,
00:06:07.500 and to lose 3,000 lives on that day
00:06:10.420 was horrific,
00:06:12.160 and I'll never forget it,
00:06:15.620 but the fact is
00:06:17.460 there were 150,000 people
00:06:19.380 working in the World Trade Center alone,
00:06:21.220 and if one of those towers
00:06:22.480 had fallen sideways
00:06:23.940 instead of just collapsing on itself,
00:06:26.580 we don't know how many
00:06:28.100 hundreds of thousands of people
00:06:29.700 could have been killed.
00:06:30.800 Mm, you just gave me the chills.
00:06:32.380 You're so right.
00:06:33.800 But I do remember that feeling
00:06:35.800 of being terrorized,
00:06:38.120 and in a way,
00:06:39.780 the D.C. sniper brought it out
00:06:41.300 in people even more than 9-11.
00:06:43.320 Like, 9-11 seemed so extraordinary.
00:06:46.060 I don't know that we were worrying
00:06:47.500 that that would happen regularly.
00:06:49.820 You know, it was like such
00:06:50.860 an extraordinary attack by this man
00:06:53.180 we understood far away
00:06:54.800 in a cave in Afghanistan.
00:06:56.340 It took extraordinary amounts
00:06:57.420 of planning and so on.
00:06:59.100 Right.
00:06:59.440 But the D.C. sniper
00:07:00.500 was getting person after person
00:07:03.260 after person,
00:07:04.580 day after day after day,
00:07:06.320 and very, very few clues to go on.
00:07:09.620 It's not like,
00:07:10.720 we think we got him,
00:07:11.740 or there's someone in custody.
00:07:12.880 It took almost the whole month
00:07:14.680 before it was like,
00:07:15.380 okay, so let's start at the beginning.
00:07:17.180 Let's start at the beginning.
00:07:18.020 Okay.
00:07:18.880 The first,
00:07:20.620 the first,
00:07:21.280 and we can then go back.
00:07:23.320 Let's just do the ones
00:07:24.160 that we experienced
00:07:24.900 as a nation together.
00:07:26.420 Okay.
00:07:26.880 Those 13 shootings,
00:07:28.620 10 of which resulted
00:07:29.680 in fatalities first.
00:07:31.480 Right.
00:07:31.780 And then we can go back
00:07:32.900 and take a look at what
00:07:34.040 was happening prior
00:07:35.840 to that spree.
00:07:37.140 Right.
00:07:37.680 Which helps put everything
00:07:38.920 into perspective.
00:07:40.220 Okay, I'm trying to get
00:07:41.200 my dates in front of me.
00:07:41.980 The first one,
00:07:43.500 October 2nd,
00:07:44.780 2002,
00:07:46.380 55-year-old James D. Martin,
00:07:49.280 a program analyst
00:07:50.240 for the National Oceanic
00:07:51.580 and Atmospheric Administration,
00:07:53.200 is shot
00:07:54.080 in the parking lot
00:07:55.640 of Shoppers Food Warehouse
00:07:58.280 in Wheaton, Maryland.
00:08:00.560 Now, at that point,
00:08:01.940 what did we know?
00:08:02.740 Did we know
00:08:03.320 this is like a killing for joy?
00:08:06.720 You know what I mean?
00:08:07.060 Did we think he had enemies?
00:08:08.700 What was known?
00:08:09.220 At this point,
00:08:10.800 it was,
00:08:11.840 there was obviously
00:08:13.040 a big question mark.
00:08:15.220 Was he singled out
00:08:17.160 because of his job?
00:08:18.440 He worked for the government.
00:08:20.180 I mean,
00:08:20.500 at least a government entity.
00:08:22.560 And because of that,
00:08:23.680 we weren't sure
00:08:24.540 whether this was
00:08:25.620 a politically motivated attack
00:08:27.920 or whether it is
00:08:29.300 a personal attack.
00:08:30.500 Right in the beginning,
00:08:31.400 we don't know.
00:08:32.560 we have to do
00:08:33.540 a deep dive
00:08:34.440 on victimology.
00:08:35.460 We have to understand
00:08:36.320 who this person is.
00:08:38.200 And right at the beginning,
00:08:40.080 his job stood out
00:08:41.480 as something
00:08:42.380 that could be
00:08:43.460 related to
00:08:44.680 some kind of
00:08:45.680 terroristic
00:08:46.480 government attack.
00:08:48.860 As it turns out,
00:08:50.440 in a very short period of time,
00:08:53.180 all hell would break loose.
00:08:55.400 And it would soon
00:08:56.420 become clear.
00:08:57.640 We're talking about
00:08:58.440 a small town,
00:09:00.000 you know,
00:09:00.860 in a county
00:09:02.280 that literally
00:09:03.860 never sees
00:09:05.180 this kind of
00:09:06.460 violent crime
00:09:09.120 when basically
00:09:11.080 in one day
00:09:13.140 their murder rate
00:09:15.360 is multiplied
00:09:16.800 by 50%.
00:09:19.580 Yeah.
00:09:20.400 Their entire year
00:09:21.900 they get in
00:09:23.100 in one day.
00:09:25.220 So in the beginning,
00:09:25.860 you're thinking,
00:09:26.420 like you say,
00:09:26.920 is it something to do
00:09:27.600 with his job?
00:09:28.340 What is it?
00:09:29.300 Let's look into
00:09:29.860 all of that.
00:09:30.580 But that lasted
00:09:31.480 about 24 hours
00:09:33.300 as far as I can see.
00:09:34.080 I mean,
00:09:34.340 it was less than a day
00:09:36.380 before the next
00:09:37.540 crime took place.
00:09:39.860 That was of a
00:09:40.400 39-year-old man,
00:09:42.260 landscaper
00:09:42.980 named James L. Buchanan.
00:09:45.440 Police were called
00:09:45.980 to the crime scene.
00:09:46.780 They found him.
00:09:48.100 He'd been fatally shot
00:09:49.440 while mowing a lawn
00:09:50.520 at a commercial
00:09:51.700 establishment
00:09:52.260 near Rockville, Maryland.
00:09:53.880 So now,
00:09:54.400 I mean,
00:09:54.620 at least one of the
00:09:55.280 other clues here is
00:09:56.160 this isn't about
00:09:57.140 class, right?
00:09:58.520 Now you've got
00:09:59.060 somebody who's
00:09:59.660 probably more
00:10:00.240 professionally educated.
00:10:01.740 Now you've got
00:10:02.460 a different guy
00:10:03.240 who mows lawns
00:10:04.360 for a living.
00:10:06.140 Both men,
00:10:07.480 one's almost 40,
00:10:08.660 one's 55,
00:10:10.960 and not,
00:10:11.740 I don't know,
00:10:12.280 but Rockville, Maryland
00:10:13.100 versus Wheaton, Maryland.
00:10:14.460 Not too far away, right?
00:10:15.820 Not too far.
00:10:16.800 They're neighboring towns.
00:10:18.360 But the thing about it
00:10:20.040 is that
00:10:20.580 we didn't know
00:10:22.080 right away
00:10:22.640 that these were related.
00:10:23.780 We had to,
00:10:25.220 I mean,
00:10:25.440 ballistics is what
00:10:26.480 actually created
00:10:27.840 that connection,
00:10:28.740 but it took a little while
00:10:30.020 to get the bullets
00:10:31.540 from both of these victims
00:10:32.740 and to match them
00:10:33.900 to the same,
00:10:34.780 being fired
00:10:35.260 from the same weapon.
00:10:36.440 The fact is that
00:10:37.660 when Buchanan's body
00:10:39.820 was found,
00:10:41.400 it was,
00:10:42.020 it looked like
00:10:42.680 it was an accident.
00:10:43.440 He was mowing lawn.
00:10:44.380 It looked like maybe
00:10:45.280 a rock kicked up
00:10:46.980 or some glass kicked up
00:10:48.160 and struck him,
00:10:48.960 but then it was determined
00:10:50.560 that he was actually shot.
00:10:51.840 And so now we have
00:10:53.260 two shootings
00:10:54.240 within a fairly short
00:10:56.680 geographic distance
00:10:57.880 in both in towns
00:10:59.400 where there wasn't
00:11:00.700 a lot of shootings.
00:11:01.700 So there's,
00:11:03.120 there's some connection
00:11:04.900 being drawn at this point.
00:11:06.260 The FBI is not involved
00:11:07.660 at this point yet.
00:11:08.860 It's a local police matter.
00:11:11.020 The Montgomery County
00:11:12.740 Police Department
00:11:14.020 or Montgomery County
00:11:16.780 Sheriff's Department
00:11:17.960 was brought in immediately.
00:11:20.500 And at that point
00:11:21.920 they were,
00:11:23.380 they had,
00:11:24.420 I think,
00:11:26.220 they had just a handful
00:11:27.820 of detectives
00:11:28.700 working for them.
00:11:29.560 And of course,
00:11:30.380 these detectives
00:11:31.300 would have to go
00:11:32.120 from one scene
00:11:33.140 to the next.
00:11:34.500 And of course,
00:11:35.340 normally they would get
00:11:36.740 one shooting
00:11:37.780 every several months.
00:11:39.840 And now they have
00:11:41.120 two shootings
00:11:41.900 within 24 hours,
00:11:43.940 27 hours maybe.
00:11:46.320 Do you remember
00:11:46.940 whether there were
00:11:47.720 eyewitnesses
00:11:48.760 this early?
00:11:49.820 You know,
00:11:50.200 I imagine they'd be asking,
00:11:51.660 did anybody see anything?
00:11:52.900 Like,
00:11:53.480 did anybody see anything?
00:11:55.440 Did anybody have something
00:11:56.300 to report on
00:11:57.020 how it went down?
00:11:58.920 There were a lot of,
00:12:00.340 there were a lot of people
00:12:01.660 interviewed.
00:12:02.480 And the,
00:12:03.440 the problem here
00:12:04.420 in this case
00:12:04.960 at this time
00:12:05.620 is that
00:12:06.360 whoever the shooter is,
00:12:08.780 he's a ghost.
00:12:09.940 Nobody sees him.
00:12:11.500 Nobody heard
00:12:12.700 exactly where the shot
00:12:13.980 came from
00:12:14.660 in the case
00:12:15.660 of the second shooting.
00:12:16.820 They didn't even know
00:12:17.600 a shot went off.
00:12:18.760 So there was
00:12:20.000 some confusion
00:12:21.160 at that point.
00:12:22.220 Of course,
00:12:22.980 there are people
00:12:24.100 who,
00:12:24.760 who were interviewed.
00:12:27.060 And this is something
00:12:28.000 that we have to deal
00:12:28.760 with all the time.
00:12:29.740 When people are interviewed
00:12:31.140 about something
00:12:32.600 as,
00:12:33.320 as horrible
00:12:35.400 as a murder,
00:12:36.220 sometimes
00:12:36.820 they will
00:12:38.620 sort of fill in blanks
00:12:40.000 that they don't really
00:12:40.640 have in their memory.
00:12:41.600 They will do this
00:12:42.440 either intentionally
00:12:43.220 or unintentionally.
00:12:44.320 And this can cause
00:12:45.600 an investigation
00:12:46.800 to go off
00:12:47.780 on tangents
00:12:48.820 and actually
00:12:49.460 really impede
00:12:50.720 a thorough
00:12:51.520 and quick investigation.
00:12:53.060 And we will start
00:12:54.280 to see that
00:12:54.920 very shortly
00:12:55.580 as these shootings
00:12:57.420 keep continuing.
00:13:00.180 I'm recalling
00:13:00.840 this story
00:13:01.380 of a law school
00:13:03.000 professor
00:13:03.400 who
00:13:04.680 got to class late,
00:13:07.400 said,
00:13:07.860 so sorry,
00:13:08.480 had a road rage incident,
00:13:09.980 lunatic on the street.
00:13:11.300 I'm fine.
00:13:12.060 Let's move on.
00:13:13.560 About 10 minutes later,
00:13:14.740 somebody shows up
00:13:15.540 frothing at the mouth
00:13:16.720 at the classroom door,
00:13:18.440 banging on the door,
00:13:19.420 threatening,
00:13:20.020 threatening.
00:13:21.260 Finally,
00:13:21.720 the guy comes in,
00:13:23.180 has a gun.
00:13:24.660 This is back
00:13:25.460 when I was in law school.
00:13:26.440 So,
00:13:26.660 you know,
00:13:26.940 early 90s
00:13:27.600 before we were,
00:13:28.500 you know,
00:13:29.140 crazy about,
00:13:30.980 you know,
00:13:31.300 this is a mass shooting.
00:13:32.260 There's a mass shooting.
00:13:32.920 There's a mass shooting.
00:13:35.300 Pulls out a gun.
00:13:36.400 Everybody says,
00:13:37.060 some people get down.
00:13:40.320 Some people cower.
00:13:42.320 People scream.
00:13:43.220 Uh,
00:13:43.780 before everybody
00:13:44.520 had a cell phone
00:13:45.180 and the professor
00:13:47.480 keeps yelling.
00:13:48.240 The guy runs out.
00:13:49.840 You know,
00:13:50.080 the intruder
00:13:50.600 runs out.
00:13:51.480 The professor
00:13:51.900 goes to run after him,
00:13:54.280 comes back
00:13:56.140 into the classroom
00:13:57.340 minutes later,
00:13:59.140 hands out a form
00:14:00.140 to everybody
00:14:01.180 in the classroom
00:14:01.980 and says,
00:14:02.560 write down everything
00:14:03.340 you remember
00:14:03.880 about the intruder.
00:14:05.260 It was all
00:14:06.740 a farce
00:14:07.560 and
00:14:09.100 today you would
00:14:10.500 get sued
00:14:10.880 by every single
00:14:11.560 student in that class.
00:14:13.560 Today you would,
00:14:14.080 but it's a great
00:14:14.920 teaching experiment
00:14:16.480 because it's,
00:14:17.640 it's a social
00:14:18.260 experiment really.
00:14:19.260 But what it is,
00:14:20.180 is trying to
00:14:21.960 demonstrate
00:14:22.560 the fallacy
00:14:23.960 that eyewitness
00:14:25.160 testimony
00:14:25.740 is actually accurate.
00:14:27.660 We do exactly
00:14:29.100 the same thing
00:14:29.960 in the FBI Academy
00:14:31.120 and the FBI
00:14:31.760 National Academy.
00:14:32.840 We actually
00:14:33.840 stage,
00:14:34.500 though,
00:14:35.000 actual bank
00:14:35.760 robberies,
00:14:36.320 for example,
00:14:36.760 for our students
00:14:37.860 to witness.
00:14:38.940 And they're there
00:14:39.900 on site
00:14:41.160 and you'll have
00:14:42.060 50 students,
00:14:43.360 either new agent
00:14:44.020 trainees
00:14:44.420 or advanced
00:14:45.660 police trainees
00:14:46.540 who are witnessing
00:14:47.960 exactly the same
00:14:49.160 event.
00:14:49.500 And then we do
00:14:50.580 sort of a,
00:14:51.300 a chart,
00:14:52.200 a,
00:14:52.440 a flow chart
00:14:53.480 of all the different
00:14:54.420 answers.
00:14:55.340 How many shots
00:14:56.340 were fired?
00:14:57.040 What color was the vehicle?
00:14:58.280 How many people
00:14:58.940 in the vehicle?
00:14:59.620 How long were they
00:15:00.320 in the bank?
00:15:00.840 How long did they,
00:15:01.780 they,
00:15:02.840 uh,
00:15:03.360 shoot when they came out?
00:15:04.860 How many shots
00:15:05.580 were fired then?
00:15:06.600 All of these details
00:15:08.000 and you will see
00:15:09.520 that they're all
00:15:10.480 over the place.
00:15:11.520 Right.
00:15:12.120 But then,
00:15:13.040 but then
00:15:13.980 we teach people,
00:15:16.260 these people
00:15:17.140 who professionally
00:15:18.300 have to
00:15:19.420 be able to
00:15:20.220 recount details
00:15:21.240 very well,
00:15:21.960 how to focus
00:15:23.020 and how to weed out
00:15:24.360 all the other,
00:15:25.160 other aspects
00:15:26.420 that can distract,
00:15:27.960 distract you.
00:15:28.900 Because when you're,
00:15:30.080 when you're involved
00:15:31.220 in a life situation
00:15:32.100 and then a violent crime
00:15:33.160 happens in front of you,
00:15:34.180 you didn't expect
00:15:35.140 it to happen.
00:15:36.100 You were expecting
00:15:36.900 to take notes
00:15:37.740 or to go to the store
00:15:39.080 or to pick up
00:15:40.340 your daughter
00:15:41.040 from school
00:15:41.700 and something else
00:15:43.400 intervene.
00:15:44.160 But all those other things
00:15:45.200 are still distracting you.
00:15:47.140 Right.
00:15:47.400 So that's the next level
00:15:48.740 for anybody training
00:15:49.620 to be
00:15:50.200 basically in your job,
00:15:52.380 which is to learn
00:15:53.680 to use all that adrenaline
00:15:54.660 for good
00:15:55.760 to pay hyper attention.
00:15:57.940 Yeah,
00:15:58.200 it's to focus.
00:15:59.240 And I remember
00:15:59.680 my colleague,
00:16:01.040 we wound up
00:16:01.540 practicing law together
00:16:02.260 and she used 1.00
00:16:03.760 to be a nurse
00:16:04.420 before she went
00:16:05.380 to law school.
00:16:06.000 And so this had happened
00:16:06.640 to her in her law school.
00:16:08.100 And it was a great,
00:16:10.020 because somebody else
00:16:10.680 was there
00:16:11.040 who had witnessed
00:16:12.020 her behavior 0.89
00:16:12.580 and they were telling me
00:16:13.620 that she,
00:16:14.500 her name was Sandy,
00:16:15.860 unlike virtually
00:16:16.420 everybody in the class
00:16:17.320 having been a nurse
00:16:18.600 was used to
00:16:20.060 trauma situations.
00:16:21.680 And so while like
00:16:22.880 some of the big male
00:16:23.840 burly guys in the class
00:16:25.560 were underneath
00:16:26.380 their desks,
00:16:27.540 she was like,
00:16:28.320 you over there,
00:16:29.000 there was a guy
00:16:29.360 in a wheelchair
00:16:29.800 near the front door.
00:16:30.560 She's like,
00:16:30.900 get him away
00:16:31.420 from that front door.
00:16:32.420 You move there,
00:16:33.120 you move this.
00:16:34.020 She totally took command.
00:16:35.680 It's this,
00:16:35.940 you know,
00:16:36.220 diminutive.
00:16:36.800 Sounds like she had
00:16:37.560 special forces training.
00:16:39.360 She just,
00:16:40.420 she'd been through trauma.
00:16:41.860 And of course,
00:16:42.300 the point of the story
00:16:42.940 is their eyewitness
00:16:44.200 identifications
00:16:45.000 were horrible,
00:16:46.460 horrible.
00:16:47.260 You know,
00:16:47.480 it's like man
00:16:48.400 wearing a big yellow
00:16:49.760 Morton salt jacket,
00:16:51.240 man wearing lumberjack,
00:16:52.740 you know,
00:16:53.060 shirt,
00:16:54.100 a woman.
00:16:54.840 Some people said
00:16:55.260 it was a woman. 0.60
00:16:56.000 It's so unreliable.
00:16:59.080 So yes,
00:16:59.400 to your point,
00:17:00.020 the eyewitness IDs,
00:17:01.800 you can't put that much
00:17:02.880 stock in them
00:17:03.840 unless you get the miracle
00:17:04.880 of holy cow, 0.99
00:17:06.200 they're all identical.
00:17:07.380 They really did get
00:17:08.260 a look at this person.
00:17:10.120 Well,
00:17:10.520 and again,
00:17:11.100 it's going to be
00:17:12.160 a filtering out process
00:17:14.080 and that's what we do
00:17:15.260 when we do all these
00:17:16.060 mass interviews
00:17:16.900 when we're,
00:17:17.600 when we're doing
00:17:18.260 sort of neighborhood
00:17:19.380 canvases and so forth.
00:17:20.720 We want to ask
00:17:21.820 exactly the same questions
00:17:23.400 and then we can measure
00:17:24.320 the answers
00:17:25.020 against each other.
00:17:26.280 If you don't have
00:17:27.260 a form for that
00:17:28.700 and every officer
00:17:29.820 is out
00:17:30.320 asking different questions,
00:17:31.980 you can never really
00:17:33.080 find out
00:17:33.980 which people
00:17:34.960 are telling the truth
00:17:35.740 and which people aren't.
00:17:36.980 And again,
00:17:37.300 it might be
00:17:38.020 unintentional.
00:17:39.680 In other words,
00:17:40.240 some people
00:17:41.300 believe
00:17:42.080 that they are
00:17:43.180 actually recounting
00:17:44.580 what happened
00:17:45.360 but what happens
00:17:46.600 is memory
00:17:47.800 is not
00:17:48.480 a digital
00:17:49.820 video
00:17:50.480 of
00:17:51.640 this
00:17:52.680 event.
00:17:53.980 Memory
00:17:54.240 is stored
00:17:55.720 in several
00:17:56.460 different areas.
00:17:57.380 Each one of your senses
00:17:58.340 has the ability
00:17:59.540 to store information
00:18:00.820 from a memory
00:18:01.580 in a different part
00:18:02.660 of your brain
00:18:03.200 and in order
00:18:03.920 to remember it,
00:18:05.060 you have to pull
00:18:05.660 those pieces together.
00:18:07.300 If there's a piece
00:18:07.960 missing,
00:18:08.700 if you don't remember
00:18:09.600 what it sounded like
00:18:10.760 or what somebody
00:18:11.320 looked like
00:18:11.940 or how tall
00:18:12.580 somebody was,
00:18:14.480 your brain
00:18:15.140 will fill in
00:18:16.080 what you expect.
00:18:17.660 And if you're
00:18:18.000 focusing only
00:18:18.940 on that gun,
00:18:19.740 which many times
00:18:20.500 people say
00:18:21.180 that gun barrel
00:18:22.200 looked massive
00:18:23.400 when the gun
00:18:24.480 was pointing at them
00:18:25.360 and it focuses
00:18:26.740 your attention
00:18:27.400 on that
00:18:28.000 and away from
00:18:28.880 the features
00:18:29.520 of the person
00:18:30.140 that are right
00:18:30.720 in front of you.
00:18:31.700 But we've developed
00:18:32.700 ways of actually
00:18:33.940 maximizing
00:18:34.640 the ability
00:18:35.640 of somebody
00:18:36.140 to recall things.
00:18:37.700 Really?
00:18:37.920 Yeah,
00:18:39.000 we developed
00:18:39.540 cognitive interviewing
00:18:40.620 and basically
00:18:42.460 it's a way
00:18:43.100 to get people
00:18:43.940 to relax
00:18:44.800 and to put
00:18:46.700 themselves back
00:18:47.520 into the situation
00:18:48.460 in a non-threatening
00:18:49.960 way and then
00:18:51.340 we engage
00:18:52.080 all of their senses,
00:18:53.700 not just
00:18:54.680 their sight and sound.
00:18:55.880 Most people
00:18:56.300 will recount events
00:18:57.320 through sight and sound
00:18:58.460 but they won't tell you
00:18:59.960 what the temperature
00:19:00.700 was like on that day,
00:19:01.760 what smells
00:19:02.660 came into their nose
00:19:03.880 while this was happening.
00:19:04.700 Smells are big.
00:19:05.580 But if you bring
00:19:06.540 those things back,
00:19:07.920 it's like linking
00:19:09.340 up a chain
00:19:11.180 in your brain
00:19:12.520 to all the different
00:19:13.640 parts of your memory
00:19:14.640 and you can pull
00:19:16.320 them out more easily.
00:19:17.760 So we try to do that
00:19:19.080 without any suggestion
00:19:20.140 but we do
00:19:21.560 certain techniques
00:19:22.780 to get people
00:19:23.560 to think about it.
00:19:24.680 One of the ways
00:19:25.560 is to get them
00:19:27.160 to tell us
00:19:27.960 what happened
00:19:28.600 the first thing
00:19:29.300 in the morning
00:19:29.720 and go detail
00:19:31.060 by detail
00:19:31.760 what they did
00:19:32.480 that morning.
00:19:33.380 So by the time
00:19:34.060 they get to the event,
00:19:35.800 their brain
00:19:36.300 is already used
00:19:37.320 to recounting
00:19:38.380 a lot of detail
00:19:39.360 and again
00:19:40.300 getting all that
00:19:41.460 sensory information
00:19:42.500 involved
00:19:42.960 just ramps up
00:19:44.380 the ability
00:19:45.260 of somebody
00:19:45.780 to remember something.
00:19:47.040 For example,
00:19:47.520 if I said
00:19:48.680 tell me about Thanksgiving
00:19:50.300 at your home
00:19:51.300 when you were a kid,
00:19:52.560 one of the first
00:19:53.540 things you'll remember
00:19:54.380 is the family
00:19:55.080 being together,
00:19:55.900 the smells
00:19:56.480 of the turkey cooking,
00:19:57.800 everybody being together,
00:19:59.080 the mood,
00:20:00.620 the ambience,
00:20:01.340 the how people
00:20:03.240 were situated
00:20:04.140 around the table,
00:20:05.460 all those kinds
00:20:06.360 of things
00:20:06.840 will help you
00:20:07.980 have a much more
00:20:08.780 rich experience
00:20:09.800 when you try
00:20:10.800 to recall that
00:20:11.560 and that's what
00:20:12.460 we try to do
00:20:13.000 about crimes too.
00:20:14.000 That's good stuff.
00:20:15.700 I mean,
00:20:15.940 who hasn't had
00:20:16.520 the experience
00:20:17.100 of you,
00:20:18.800 they're out of
00:20:19.240 your deodorant
00:20:20.060 when you're at the store
00:20:20.900 so you get something
00:20:22.360 that's a one-off
00:20:23.900 and then when you
00:20:25.080 put it on
00:20:25.700 you're like,
00:20:26.220 summer 1986.
00:20:28.740 You know,
00:20:29.080 it's like you
00:20:29.480 you don't necessarily
00:20:30.580 know the date
00:20:31.080 but you know
00:20:31.960 you've had it before
00:20:32.840 and just the smell
00:20:34.280 takes you back
00:20:34.920 to that place.
00:20:35.640 Yeah,
00:20:35.800 your smell,
00:20:36.600 your sense of smell
00:20:37.380 is the most directly
00:20:38.540 wired to your brain.
00:20:39.840 There's only one synapse
00:20:41.060 between the nerves
00:20:42.080 that end coming
00:20:43.200 from your nose
00:20:44.120 and getting to your brain
00:20:46.260 so because of that
00:20:47.740 it's one of the most
00:20:49.180 incredible ways
00:20:51.340 to recall something
00:20:52.640 just by smell.
00:20:54.860 Oh,
00:20:55.380 this is a fascinating
00:20:56.380 side journey.
00:20:57.200 We could do a whole show
00:20:57.860 just on this.
00:20:59.480 All right,
00:20:59.860 so back to the D.C.
00:21:00.840 Back to murder.
00:21:01.740 Yeah,
00:21:02.020 back to the D.C.
00:21:02.760 sniper.
00:21:03.120 So you mentioned ballistics.
00:21:05.700 So how long does it take
00:21:07.640 to get the ball?
00:21:08.920 I mean,
00:21:09.100 in a situation like that
00:21:10.180 where now we've had
00:21:10.980 a shooting on October 2nd
00:21:12.700 and the very next day
00:21:13.780 James L. Buchanan,
00:21:15.160 the 39-year-old landscaper,
00:21:16.460 gets shot.
00:21:18.080 Could you possibly
00:21:18.940 have much information
00:21:20.580 on the ballistics
00:21:21.140 that quickly?
00:21:22.260 Not yet.
00:21:23.060 First of all,
00:21:23.700 there are two different towns
00:21:24.880 and then the shootings
00:21:27.140 happened,
00:21:27.880 the first six shootings
00:21:29.580 happened within 27 hours.
00:21:31.620 So it wasn't literally
00:21:33.320 till towards the end
00:21:34.700 of that 27 hours
00:21:35.820 that we started
00:21:36.700 to get information
00:21:37.520 that these were all,
00:21:39.000 they all seemed
00:21:40.160 to be a ballistic match
00:21:41.680 and then that was
00:21:42.720 confirmed shortly thereafter.
00:21:44.440 But when you start seeing
00:21:46.740 then shooting
00:21:48.540 after shooting,
00:21:49.700 you can start,
00:21:51.300 because it's such
00:21:52.180 an anomaly in this area,
00:21:53.660 to have a sniper shooting.
00:21:56.040 In other words,
00:21:56.860 there were shootings
00:21:58.360 in this county,
00:21:59.760 but these shootings
00:22:01.480 were typically
00:22:02.160 with a handgun
00:22:03.120 by someone
00:22:04.080 who was right in front
00:22:05.460 of the person
00:22:06.060 and there is some kind
00:22:07.680 of ongoing dispute
00:22:08.660 or a robbery gone bad,
00:22:11.340 an armed robbery gone bad.
00:22:12.980 This kind of shooting,
00:22:14.240 where there's a sniper
00:22:15.060 who is completely
00:22:16.100 distanced
00:22:17.380 and invisible
00:22:19.480 to everybody.
00:22:21.960 That is something
00:22:23.480 that's a very unique thing
00:22:24.900 and just that behavior
00:22:26.120 in and of itself
00:22:27.020 started to link
00:22:28.400 these crimes
00:22:29.160 by MO.
00:22:31.160 So we talked about
00:22:33.180 the first two,
00:22:34.000 that October 3rd
00:22:35.160 was the big day.
00:22:36.020 There was just
00:22:36.500 the one
00:22:37.980 on October 2nd,
00:22:39.080 though right before
00:22:39.820 that first killing,
00:22:40.780 there had been a shot
00:22:41.800 fired through a window
00:22:42.760 at Michael's craft store
00:22:44.160 in Aspen Hill, Maryland,
00:22:45.760 but no one was hit.
00:22:47.580 Okay, so now we have
00:22:48.640 two victims.
00:22:49.560 Later that same day,
00:22:50.360 October 3rd,
00:22:51.840 Premkumar Walakar,
00:22:54.380 52,
00:22:55.040 a part-time cab driver,
00:22:56.760 killed while pumping gas
00:22:58.840 in the Aspen Hill area
00:23:00.840 of Montgomery County, Maryland.
00:23:03.520 Again, that's where
00:23:04.040 the first,
00:23:04.760 that's where that Michael's was.
00:23:06.440 That's number three.
00:23:07.660 Then October 4th,
00:23:09.040 October 3rd,
00:23:09.780 again,
00:23:10.140 Sarah Ramos,
00:23:10.900 34,
00:23:11.440 now it's a woman, 0.99
00:23:12.720 Silver Spring, Maryland,
00:23:13.520 killed at a post office.
00:23:15.560 A witness reports
00:23:16.500 seeing a white van
00:23:17.860 or a truck
00:23:18.620 speed away
00:23:20.040 from the post office
00:23:20.720 parking lot
00:23:21.120 immediately after the shooting.
00:23:22.140 And we'll get back
00:23:22.520 to that white van
00:23:23.040 in one second.
00:23:24.060 Then comes number five,
00:23:26.540 October 3rd,
00:23:27.140 still,
00:23:27.580 Laurieann Lewis Rivera,
00:23:28.740 25.
00:23:29.400 Again,
00:23:29.600 now that now
00:23:29.920 we're on to young women
00:23:30.680 of Silver Spring, Maryland,
00:23:31.920 shot dead
00:23:32.380 at a Shell gas station
00:23:33.680 in Kensington.
00:23:35.040 And then number six,
00:23:36.220 October 3rd,
00:23:36.880 2002.
00:23:37.420 This is the only one
00:23:39.760 in Washington, D.C.
00:23:41.520 Pascal Charlotte,
00:23:42.800 just over the line, right.
00:23:44.060 Yeah,
00:23:44.420 72 years old,
00:23:45.940 shot in the chest
00:23:46.840 as he just walked
00:23:48.200 down Georgia Avenue,
00:23:50.080 taken to a hospital
00:23:50.680 where he dies
00:23:51.160 less than an hour later.
00:23:52.080 That last one,
00:23:53.320 number six,
00:23:54.740 the first shooting
00:23:55.720 to occur at night.
00:23:57.440 The others,
00:23:58.240 I had forgotten
00:23:59.240 about this,
00:24:00.540 were all
00:24:01.180 in broad daylight.
00:24:03.400 That's crazy.
00:24:04.940 It is crazy.
00:24:05.840 And what it does
00:24:07.100 is it tells us
00:24:08.100 immediately
00:24:08.820 as profilers
00:24:10.040 that the person
00:24:11.420 who did this
00:24:12.380 had a high level
00:24:13.940 of criminal sophistication.
00:24:15.520 And what does that mean?
00:24:16.980 Well,
00:24:17.300 it means he knows
00:24:18.260 how to plan
00:24:19.620 and execute his crimes.
00:24:21.440 Another thing
00:24:22.000 that we saw,
00:24:22.880 now you have
00:24:23.500 six shots,
00:24:25.120 six kills
00:24:26.040 within 27 hours,
00:24:28.700 a very tight
00:24:29.700 time frame.
00:24:30.940 Generally,
00:24:31.720 this kind of shooting
00:24:33.200 would be labeled
00:24:34.520 a spree.
00:24:35.120 In other words,
00:24:36.500 an offender
00:24:37.100 who is going off
00:24:38.320 and just killing 0.80
00:24:39.180 as many people
00:24:40.200 as he or she can
00:24:41.420 in a row.
00:24:43.040 But generally,
00:24:44.340 when we see that,
00:24:45.840 when we have
00:24:46.420 a shooting spree,
00:24:47.900 we see some level
00:24:49.440 of decompensation
00:24:50.620 in the shooter,
00:24:51.960 in his skills,
00:24:52.940 in his planning.
00:24:54.100 Things just don't go
00:24:55.500 according to plan
00:24:56.480 and things start
00:24:57.420 falling apart.
00:24:58.440 He might have to
00:24:59.240 carjack somebody's car
00:25:00.340 to get away.
00:25:01.000 He might have to
00:25:01.960 shoot out with the police
00:25:03.380 or somebody else
00:25:04.260 who pulls a gun
00:25:04.940 on him.
00:25:06.300 None of that
00:25:06.860 happened here.
00:25:07.940 So we felt
00:25:08.600 that this offender,
00:25:10.360 while he was
00:25:11.260 certainly
00:25:12.640 in,
00:25:14.000 had to be
00:25:14.680 in his
00:25:15.300 late 30s
00:25:16.560 or early 40s
00:25:17.640 at least,
00:25:18.680 that he had
00:25:19.840 some kind
00:25:20.600 of military
00:25:21.420 or police
00:25:22.740 training
00:25:23.280 and experience.
00:25:25.540 It couldn't be
00:25:26.720 somebody who
00:25:27.360 just learned
00:25:28.480 how to shoot
00:25:29.000 a gun
00:25:29.400 at paper targets.
00:25:30.640 Because when
00:25:31.600 you're shooting
00:25:32.260 at human beings,
00:25:33.320 when you actually
00:25:34.400 take a life, 0.71
00:25:35.860 that actually
00:25:36.980 takes a certain
00:25:38.320 kind of individual
00:25:39.460 and somebody
00:25:40.640 who's doing that
00:25:41.620 and is not
00:25:42.920 rattled by it,
00:25:44.200 that's somebody
00:25:45.140 who's done it before.
00:25:45.920 And like you said
00:25:46.520 about your nurse
00:25:47.220 in the example
00:25:47.920 in law school,
00:25:49.320 she had gone
00:25:50.640 through trauma,
00:25:51.540 which is why
00:25:52.180 she could remain
00:25:52.960 calm.
00:25:53.620 And I mentioned
00:25:54.200 about special
00:25:55.020 forces training.
00:25:55.980 They put you
00:25:56.980 through every
00:25:58.080 possible horrible
00:25:59.460 scenario and
00:26:00.640 anything that
00:26:01.580 could go wrong
00:26:02.280 and things
00:26:02.920 blowing up
00:26:03.480 all around you
00:26:04.200 so that when
00:26:04.720 you're in special
00:26:05.360 forces and
00:26:06.040 you're in a
00:26:07.120 firefight,
00:26:08.100 you actually
00:26:09.080 calm down.
00:26:10.400 You actually
00:26:10.880 can see
00:26:11.820 things that
00:26:13.000 other people
00:26:13.680 can't even
00:26:14.840 see because
00:26:15.540 they're focused
00:26:16.100 on all the
00:26:16.660 bangs and the
00:26:17.400 bullets and the 0.55
00:26:18.040 explosions,
00:26:19.420 while you are
00:26:21.020 focused on what
00:26:21.800 you need to do
00:26:22.520 to survive this
00:26:23.340 and stop the
00:26:23.980 threat.
00:26:24.880 So,
00:26:25.940 we have,
00:26:27.080 just in that
00:26:27.640 first day,
00:26:28.280 a tremendous
00:26:28.840 amount of
00:26:29.360 information.
00:26:30.140 One,
00:26:30.840 a sniper.
00:26:31.540 He chose
00:26:32.000 his weapon.
00:26:33.220 He chose
00:26:33.680 this weapon
00:26:34.340 because he
00:26:35.080 wanted to
00:26:35.540 feel like
00:26:36.100 God.
00:26:36.520 He wanted
00:26:36.860 to feel
00:26:37.280 omnipotent.
00:26:38.140 He wanted
00:26:38.600 to feel
00:26:38.920 like he
00:26:39.340 could take
00:26:39.900 a life
00:26:40.340 from afar
00:26:41.300 and above
00:26:41.780 and nobody
00:26:42.680 can stop
00:26:43.260 him and he
00:26:44.220 chooses when
00:26:45.500 their lives
00:26:45.980 ended.
00:26:46.860 And that
00:26:47.360 came out
00:26:48.880 because these
00:26:49.860 random
00:26:50.680 victims who
00:26:51.880 couldn't have
00:26:52.700 been planned,
00:26:53.500 in other words,
00:26:54.320 some of them
00:26:54.900 had just,
00:26:56.180 as a fluke,
00:26:57.000 sat down on
00:26:57.540 a bench or
00:26:58.200 just decided to
00:26:59.320 go to the
00:26:59.700 post office,
00:27:00.600 that kind
00:27:01.160 of thing,
00:27:01.900 you can't
00:27:02.540 actually know
00:27:03.460 that this
00:27:04.060 person is
00:27:04.600 going to be
00:27:05.080 at that
00:27:05.420 place at
00:27:06.140 that time.
00:27:07.200 And so,
00:27:07.880 when we put
00:27:09.080 all that
00:27:09.440 together,
00:27:10.020 the random
00:27:10.960 victimology,
00:27:12.120 the sniper,
00:27:13.360 the fact that
00:27:14.020 he had not
00:27:15.360 decompensated at
00:27:16.420 all,
00:27:17.020 we really
00:27:17.660 thought we
00:27:18.120 were looking
00:27:18.460 for somebody
00:27:19.040 who had
00:27:19.760 to be at
00:27:20.920 least in
00:27:21.560 his late
00:27:21.880 30s,
00:27:22.480 maybe early
00:27:23.040 40s,
00:27:24.020 and experienced
00:27:25.500 the line of
00:27:27.240 fire before.
00:27:27.920 Why the
00:27:34.880 late 30s
00:27:35.540 and 40s?
00:27:36.000 I understand
00:27:36.400 the possible
00:27:37.520 ex-military,
00:27:38.600 but why
00:27:38.900 late 30s
00:27:39.400 and 40s?
00:27:40.060 Well,
00:27:40.260 because the
00:27:41.380 calm,
00:27:42.800 cool,
00:27:43.120 collected
00:27:43.520 manner in
00:27:44.140 which he
00:27:44.500 planned and
00:27:45.380 executed
00:27:45.940 perfectly
00:27:46.740 these crimes.
00:27:47.840 We thought
00:27:48.220 if they were
00:27:48.800 in their
00:27:49.360 20s or
00:27:50.420 even 30s,
00:27:51.580 that the
00:27:53.160 person wouldn't
00:27:54.280 have had the
00:27:55.120 level of
00:27:55.480 experience
00:27:56.000 necessary to
00:27:57.160 actually kill
00:27:58.780 that many
00:27:59.380 people and
00:28:00.740 never make
00:28:01.360 a mistake
00:28:01.880 and never
00:28:02.880 be seen.
00:28:03.900 It's weird,
00:28:04.700 but it's like
00:28:05.040 they wouldn't
00:28:05.360 have had the
00:28:05.780 maturity,
00:28:06.620 is basically
00:28:07.020 what you're
00:28:07.360 saying.
00:28:08.000 Exactly,
00:28:08.620 because what
00:28:09.320 happens is
00:28:09.900 when profiling
00:28:10.840 is nothing
00:28:11.260 more than
00:28:11.760 reverse
00:28:12.220 engineering a
00:28:12.960 crime,
00:28:13.780 and so we
00:28:14.220 look at the
00:28:14.600 behavior exhibited
00:28:15.580 at a crime
00:28:16.120 scene and
00:28:16.740 work backwards
00:28:17.340 to the type
00:28:18.040 of person who
00:28:18.880 committed that
00:28:19.340 crime.
00:28:19.780 Of course,
00:28:20.140 victimology is
00:28:20.920 the first thing
00:28:21.420 we look at.
00:28:22.280 Who are they
00:28:23.120 picking as
00:28:23.680 their victims?
00:28:24.280 If they're
00:28:25.120 picking people
00:28:25.940 who are out
00:28:27.520 on the street
00:28:28.120 late at night,
00:28:29.580 street workers,
00:28:31.960 sex workers,
00:28:33.720 drug addicts,
00:28:34.700 runaways,
00:28:35.380 those are easy
00:28:36.360 pickings.
00:28:37.080 Nobody is
00:28:37.640 looking for
00:28:38.160 them,
00:28:38.780 nobody is
00:28:39.220 protecting them,
00:28:40.220 they're out on
00:28:40.760 their own and
00:28:41.160 they're putting
00:28:41.520 themselves in a
00:28:42.600 very risky
00:28:43.260 situation.
00:28:44.320 I'm not judging
00:28:45.360 them, just
00:28:45.880 telling you how
00:28:46.640 risky it is,
00:28:47.920 but if he's
00:28:49.180 shooting people
00:28:49.940 in the privacy
00:28:50.740 and security of
00:28:51.700 their own homes,
00:28:53.260 what does that
00:28:53.640 tell you?
00:28:54.040 He has to
00:28:54.480 have a higher
00:28:55.040 sophistication
00:28:55.860 level.
00:28:56.420 He has to
00:28:56.980 get to people
00:28:57.600 where they
00:28:58.100 are most
00:28:58.580 safe.
00:28:59.760 And he's
00:29:00.200 doing almost
00:29:01.440 that.
00:29:02.080 He's shooting
00:29:02.740 people in
00:29:03.300 broad daylight
00:29:04.080 in the normal
00:29:06.360 course of their
00:29:07.080 life with
00:29:07.920 literally hundreds
00:29:09.340 if not thousands
00:29:10.280 of potential
00:29:11.320 eyewitnesses.
00:29:12.460 How is he
00:29:13.160 doing that?
00:29:13.840 How is he
00:29:14.400 doing that and
00:29:15.180 nobody's seen
00:29:15.960 him?
00:29:16.860 And you
00:29:17.220 mentioned the
00:29:17.860 white van.
00:29:19.160 Yeah, yeah.
00:29:19.560 Hold on on that
00:29:20.540 one for one
00:29:21.040 second.
00:29:21.420 I know that we
00:29:22.380 have more on
00:29:23.060 the God
00:29:23.320 complex.
00:29:24.040 later.
00:29:24.760 But what
00:29:26.320 was it at
00:29:26.840 that point
00:29:27.380 that suggested
00:29:28.000 to you that
00:29:28.540 this person
00:29:29.060 may have
00:29:29.640 one?
00:29:30.540 The reason
00:29:30.800 why we
00:29:31.560 theorize that
00:29:32.280 he had a
00:29:32.580 God complex
00:29:33.160 is because
00:29:33.920 of his
00:29:34.340 choice of
00:29:35.560 weapon and
00:29:36.100 crime.
00:29:36.600 His MO
00:29:37.260 screams out
00:29:38.680 God complex.
00:29:39.420 We have
00:29:41.460 we have
00:29:41.480 we have
00:29:41.500 studied all
00:29:42.840 the other
00:29:43.180 sniper cases
00:29:43.980 in the
00:29:44.560 history of
00:29:45.000 the US
00:29:45.540 and we
00:29:46.420 have seen
00:29:46.960 their
00:29:47.280 psychology
00:29:47.900 and the
00:29:49.380 way I
00:29:49.820 always like
00:29:50.260 to explain
00:29:50.800 it.
00:29:50.980 I break
00:29:51.400 it down
00:29:51.660 this way
00:29:52.120 that
00:29:52.980 genetics
00:29:54.880 loads the
00:29:55.820 gun
00:29:56.060 personality
00:29:57.160 and psychology
00:29:58.000 aim it
00:29:58.600 and your
00:30:00.100 experiences pull
00:30:00.940 the trigger
00:30:01.360 and that
00:30:02.540 means it's a
00:30:03.340 complicated mix
00:30:04.360 of bio
00:30:05.140 psycho and
00:30:05.800 social that
00:30:06.620 actually makes
00:30:07.460 someone into
00:30:09.340 a killer.
00:30:10.320 In other words,
00:30:11.100 they have to have
00:30:11.900 the genetic
00:30:12.680 predisposition
00:30:14.740 or at least
00:30:15.860 potentiality to
00:30:17.380 be a killer. 0.78
00:30:17.840 they have
00:30:19.200 their own
00:30:20.040 personality
00:30:20.620 and psychology
00:30:21.460 which is the
00:30:22.540 filter through
00:30:23.240 which they
00:30:23.940 then experience
00:30:25.260 life's
00:30:26.140 experiences.
00:30:27.660 So that
00:30:28.340 becomes the
00:30:29.100 critical part
00:30:29.920 because you
00:30:32.580 develop your
00:30:33.620 own personality
00:30:34.580 and psychology
00:30:35.200 you start
00:30:35.840 with a certain
00:30:36.340 basis but
00:30:37.540 you make
00:30:38.320 literally in
00:30:39.920 your life
00:30:40.680 tens of
00:30:42.720 thousands or
00:30:43.320 hundreds of
00:30:44.040 thousands of
00:30:45.160 private little
00:30:46.040 decisions in
00:30:47.340 the privacy
00:30:47.820 of your own
00:30:48.380 mind.
00:30:49.620 And those
00:30:50.060 decisions about
00:30:51.900 when you come
00:30:53.000 into conflict
00:30:53.660 with someone
00:30:54.280 are you going
00:30:55.520 to sort of
00:30:56.960 try to push
00:30:58.080 away from the
00:30:59.000 negative or
00:31:00.040 are you going
00:31:00.440 to embrace
00:31:02.280 the dark
00:31:03.100 side?
00:31:03.620 Are you going
00:31:04.220 to actually
00:31:05.360 just give
00:31:06.760 into it and
00:31:07.560 in fact do
00:31:08.140 everything you
00:31:08.740 can to do
00:31:10.540 bad things for
00:31:11.880 the rest of
00:31:12.280 your life?
00:31:13.000 And what
00:31:13.240 happens is these
00:31:14.040 little choices
00:31:14.680 that we make
00:31:15.400 when we're very
00:31:15.940 young then
00:31:17.160 become bigger
00:31:18.040 choices and
00:31:18.860 there are
00:31:19.200 times in your
00:31:19.920 life where you
00:31:20.460 can get off
00:31:20.960 that road and
00:31:21.700 correct but if
00:31:23.200 you don't it
00:31:24.420 has this snowball
00:31:25.340 effect that by
00:31:26.700 the time you're
00:31:27.860 in your 20s and
00:31:29.060 if you're impulsive
00:31:29.980 you may act out
00:31:31.080 very badly.
00:31:32.500 If you're in
00:31:32.940 your 30s you
00:31:34.600 will think about
00:31:35.280 it more.
00:31:35.760 If you're in
00:31:36.040 your 40s you
00:31:36.900 will plan it
00:31:37.780 very carefully
00:31:38.840 and execute it
00:31:40.240 very well.
00:31:41.840 A lot of people
00:31:42.520 can plan things
00:31:43.640 but they typically
00:31:44.700 fall apart unless
00:31:46.100 you've had a
00:31:46.960 tremendous amount
00:31:47.640 of experience
00:31:48.420 doing that
00:31:49.320 thing.
00:31:50.060 So that's why
00:31:50.660 we felt in
00:31:52.180 this case that
00:31:52.800 he was older
00:31:53.380 and the fact
00:31:54.320 that he chose
00:31:55.300 out of all the
00:31:56.380 weapons he could
00:31:57.100 have chosen
00:31:57.560 somebody as
00:31:58.460 sophisticated as
00:31:59.540 this.
00:32:00.400 He chooses a 0.74
00:32:01.420 sniper rifle at
00:32:02.920 a distance
00:32:03.640 because he wants
00:32:05.560 to feel
00:32:06.280 powerful.
00:32:08.340 This empowers
00:32:09.800 him by taking
00:32:11.080 the lives of
00:32:11.720 others.
00:32:12.440 And this is
00:32:12.880 something that
00:32:13.340 we've learned
00:32:13.780 from interviewing
00:32:15.200 long detailed
00:32:17.300 interviews with
00:32:18.340 other snipers
00:32:19.460 people who have
00:32:20.600 been successful
00:32:21.320 and people who
00:32:22.480 have been stopped
00:32:23.120 before they killed
00:32:23.880 anyone.
00:32:24.860 What is it about
00:32:25.480 that kind of a
00:32:27.300 weapon and
00:32:27.940 killing somebody
00:32:28.700 from a distance
00:32:29.320 with a sniper
00:32:29.860 rifle that is
00:32:31.120 meaningful to
00:32:31.820 them?
00:32:32.360 The challenge
00:32:33.260 of it?
00:32:34.920 Well there is
00:32:35.740 a certain
00:32:36.120 challenge of
00:32:36.820 it but they
00:32:38.400 see it as a
00:32:39.760 way to be
00:32:41.160 godlike.
00:32:41.880 Everybody thinks
00:32:43.200 of God up
00:32:43.940 in heaven and
00:32:45.380 God decides
00:32:47.960 when somebody
00:32:48.560 lives or dies.
00:32:49.700 So that's what
00:32:51.500 they're doing.
00:32:52.060 They're sort of
00:32:52.460 assuming the
00:32:53.760 role of God.
00:32:54.980 They're super
00:32:55.660 imposing that on
00:32:56.720 people.
00:32:57.540 They want to
00:32:58.520 cause the fear
00:33:00.440 and terror that
00:33:01.460 they successfully
00:33:02.260 did in the
00:33:03.540 entire Washington
00:33:04.600 D.C.,
00:33:05.240 Maryland,
00:33:05.760 Virginia,
00:33:06.280 Beltway area.
00:33:07.640 That was his
00:33:08.580 goal.
00:33:09.600 It was very
00:33:10.100 clear.
00:33:11.720 He didn't
00:33:13.660 come out
00:33:14.180 with a
00:33:14.960 statement
00:33:15.820 saying,
00:33:16.960 I want
00:33:17.980 this much
00:33:19.340 money.
00:33:19.840 I will
00:33:20.340 stop if
00:33:20.900 you do
00:33:21.180 that.
00:33:22.100 He was
00:33:22.720 trying to
00:33:23.360 engender
00:33:23.720 terror by
00:33:26.380 not letting
00:33:27.720 anybody feel
00:33:29.000 like they
00:33:29.540 were safe.
00:33:30.800 And so
00:33:31.200 all the
00:33:32.360 parents were
00:33:32.920 worried about
00:33:33.500 sending their
00:33:34.040 kids to
00:33:34.420 school,
00:33:35.000 all the
00:33:35.420 people that
00:33:36.080 had to go
00:33:36.460 to work,
00:33:36.960 all the
00:33:37.180 people that
00:33:37.620 had to
00:33:38.120 work in
00:33:39.400 outdoor
00:33:39.880 jobs,
00:33:41.180 all the
00:33:41.580 people that
00:33:42.020 had to
00:33:42.360 get gas in
00:33:43.040 their cars,
00:33:43.620 everybody was
00:33:44.520 terrified at
00:33:45.220 that time.
00:33:46.440 When you
00:33:46.700 were talking
00:33:47.260 about how
00:33:48.780 calm, how
00:33:50.160 collected one
00:33:51.140 would have to
00:33:51.620 be to
00:33:52.620 execute this
00:33:54.580 murder spree
00:33:55.800 the way he
00:33:56.360 did, how
00:33:57.820 would somebody
00:33:58.720 being a
00:33:59.580 sociopath factor
00:34:01.200 in?
00:34:01.920 Could a
00:34:02.700 sociopath who
00:34:04.100 is 22
00:34:05.120 have that
00:34:06.200 same calmness
00:34:07.060 that just
00:34:08.760 a crazed
00:34:10.040 killer might
00:34:10.780 have at
00:34:11.360 age 42?
00:34:13.080 Right.
00:34:13.540 Well, first
00:34:14.660 of all,
00:34:15.360 sociopathies,
00:34:17.100 a sociopath is
00:34:18.340 a diagnosis.
00:34:19.500 It's a
00:34:19.760 psychological
00:34:20.380 diagnosis.
00:34:21.080 It's in the
00:34:21.740 DSM and
00:34:22.940 you have to
00:34:23.500 actually do
00:34:24.040 tests to
00:34:25.000 diagnose a
00:34:25.960 person like
00:34:26.460 that.
00:34:27.340 Instead, in
00:34:28.220 law enforcement,
00:34:29.740 we do
00:34:30.220 indirect
00:34:30.800 personality
00:34:31.440 assessments and
00:34:32.420 we talk about
00:34:33.280 psychopathy
00:34:34.000 instead.
00:34:34.420 psychopathy,
00:34:36.660 the disorder
00:34:40.620 that means
00:34:42.420 somebody is
00:34:43.100 a psychopath
00:34:44.040 is based on
00:34:45.920 what Dr.
00:34:46.720 Robert Hare
00:34:47.360 put together.
00:34:48.100 He put
00:34:48.420 together the
00:34:48.940 PCLR, the
00:34:50.140 psychopathy
00:34:50.860 checklist
00:34:53.520 revised, which
00:34:54.920 has 20
00:34:56.160 different aspects
00:34:57.400 that make it
00:34:58.400 up.
00:34:59.080 What you do
00:35:00.120 is you rate
00:35:00.820 someone a
00:35:02.360 zero if they
00:35:03.040 don't have
00:35:03.580 this trait,
00:35:04.420 a one if
00:35:05.040 they kind
00:35:05.540 of had
00:35:05.800 this trait
00:35:06.340 and a
00:35:06.940 two if
00:35:07.320 they definitely
00:35:08.000 have this
00:35:08.540 trait.
00:35:09.620 It's things
00:35:10.360 like narcissism
00:35:12.440 and getting
00:35:13.220 in trouble
00:35:13.640 when they're
00:35:14.020 kids and
00:35:14.720 things like
00:35:15.300 that,
00:35:16.400 multiple
00:35:17.040 marriages,
00:35:18.180 a lot of
00:35:18.760 problems in
00:35:19.720 their life.
00:35:20.640 But if you
00:35:21.920 score more
00:35:23.900 than 30,
00:35:25.360 you're
00:35:27.200 classified as
00:35:28.180 a psychopath.
00:35:28.920 If you score
00:35:29.400 more than 20,
00:35:30.280 a lot of
00:35:30.620 people think
00:35:31.100 you're probably
00:35:31.920 there or
00:35:32.580 almost there.
00:35:33.820 But one
00:35:34.160 of the
00:35:34.420 things that
00:35:36.040 one of the
00:35:36.740 most prevalent
00:35:37.720 traits in
00:35:38.660 psychopaths is
00:35:40.100 a lack of
00:35:40.700 human empathy.
00:35:41.780 Now, what
00:35:42.020 does that
00:35:42.320 mean?
00:35:42.600 What is
00:35:42.860 empathy?
00:35:43.320 It's our
00:35:43.600 ability to
00:35:44.300 put ourselves
00:35:44.900 in other
00:35:45.520 people's
00:35:45.980 shoes and
00:35:46.800 feel bad
00:35:47.280 about them
00:35:48.240 when they
00:35:48.640 go through
00:35:49.020 bad things.
00:35:50.500 And it's
00:35:50.760 one of the
00:35:51.200 things that
00:35:51.700 helps prevent
00:35:52.700 us from
00:35:53.520 hurting people
00:35:54.420 and being
00:35:55.260 violent.
00:35:55.680 this is a
00:35:58.500 sort of a
00:35:59.600 survival
00:36:00.100 mechanism that
00:36:00.940 our brain
00:36:01.400 puts in
00:36:01.980 in front
00:36:03.260 of.
00:36:03.560 It's sort
00:36:03.900 of our
00:36:04.140 frontal lobe.
00:36:05.020 It's our
00:36:05.240 policeman.
00:36:06.040 It basically
00:36:06.560 says stop 0.96
00:36:07.420 before you
00:36:07.940 go too
00:36:08.320 far.
00:36:09.620 And many
00:36:11.100 psychopaths
00:36:12.200 have none
00:36:13.080 of that at
00:36:13.520 all.
00:36:13.960 They are
00:36:14.340 completely
00:36:14.960 devoid of
00:36:16.880 empathy and
00:36:17.980 many of
00:36:18.480 them are
00:36:19.260 completely
00:36:19.820 devoid of
00:36:20.640 human emotion.
00:36:21.720 Now, the
00:36:21.980 smart ones
00:36:22.780 can see it
00:36:24.100 in other
00:36:24.400 people and
00:36:25.600 they can
00:36:25.900 mimic it.
00:36:26.900 Learn to
00:36:27.140 fake it.
00:36:28.000 Right.
00:36:28.620 Fake it
00:36:29.020 very well.
00:36:30.080 And that's
00:36:30.520 what they
00:36:30.780 use to
00:36:31.160 manipulate
00:36:31.560 people.
00:36:32.060 Ted Bundy.
00:36:33.200 Ted Bundy
00:36:34.020 is a great
00:36:34.440 example.
00:36:35.540 Also, I
00:36:37.260 don't I
00:36:37.720 don't really
00:36:38.240 love giving
00:36:39.720 names of
00:36:41.040 people that
00:36:41.800 are bad.
00:36:42.600 I work for
00:36:43.760 the victims,
00:36:44.280 not for the
00:36:44.960 bad guys,
00:36:45.740 but.
00:36:49.200 Bandersloot,
00:36:50.420 the guy who
00:36:51.340 killed Natalie
00:36:52.380 Holloway and
00:36:53.400 also the
00:36:54.380 daughter of
00:36:55.380 a South
00:36:56.340 American race
00:36:57.300 car driver
00:36:57.920 and on
00:37:00.920 the five
00:37:01.380 year anniversary
00:37:02.020 of killing
00:37:03.240 Natalie Holloway.
00:37:04.160 That's right.
00:37:04.940 I forgot he
00:37:05.680 killed a second
00:37:06.480 person.
00:37:07.280 Totally forgot
00:37:07.780 that.
00:37:08.180 She had
00:37:08.540 found out
00:37:09.380 because she
00:37:10.060 read something
00:37:10.860 on the
00:37:11.520 internet about
00:37:12.460 him on the
00:37:13.200 anniversary and
00:37:14.920 he ends up
00:37:15.660 killing her. 0.75
00:37:16.280 But what he
00:37:16.640 does is he
00:37:17.200 walks out of
00:37:17.820 the hotel
00:37:18.280 room with
00:37:19.180 two empty
00:37:20.760 coffee cups,
00:37:22.080 goes and gets
00:37:22.680 coffee and comes
00:37:23.540 back to
00:37:24.180 discover her
00:37:26.620 dead.
00:37:28.940 Immediately after
00:37:29.980 killing her, 0.71
00:37:30.920 he recovers,
00:37:32.280 comes up with
00:37:32.760 a plan.
00:37:33.660 If I go out
00:37:34.400 and carry two
00:37:36.660 cups, I can
00:37:37.680 say I thought
00:37:38.660 she was still 0.97
00:37:39.080 alive.
00:37:39.340 She was alive
00:37:39.860 when I left.
00:37:40.720 And when I
00:37:41.020 came back, I
00:37:42.700 found her dead.
00:37:43.620 He's immediately
00:37:44.520 trying to build
00:37:46.560 an alibi.
00:37:47.740 Well, guess what?
00:37:48.980 He didn't
00:37:49.620 realize that
00:37:50.180 there was a
00:37:50.580 camera literally
00:37:51.460 right outside
00:37:52.080 his hotel
00:37:52.740 room door and
00:37:54.120 nobody went
00:37:54.800 in or out
00:37:55.280 after he
00:37:56.480 left.
00:37:57.280 And so they
00:37:57.740 were very
00:37:58.140 easily able
00:37:59.260 to break
00:37:59.920 through that
00:38:00.380 alibi.
00:38:01.300 But the
00:38:01.640 important thing
00:38:02.220 is that
00:38:02.720 psychopaths have
00:38:03.820 the ability to
00:38:04.560 recover quickly.
00:38:06.200 They actually
00:38:08.040 live for
00:38:09.300 thrills.
00:38:10.100 So they're
00:38:10.520 exciting people
00:38:11.180 to be around,
00:38:12.020 for example.
00:38:12.480 But in
00:38:14.000 this case, we
00:38:15.480 saw the fact
00:38:16.660 that he was
00:38:17.360 able to do
00:38:17.980 this in a
00:38:19.100 cold, calculated
00:38:20.160 manner as not
00:38:21.480 only confirming
00:38:22.120 that he was
00:38:22.820 probably going to
00:38:23.640 be high on the
00:38:24.480 psychopathy
00:38:25.020 checklist, but
00:38:26.360 also confirming
00:38:27.220 that he had
00:38:28.660 experience doing
00:38:30.080 exactly this
00:38:31.100 somewhere in his
00:38:31.920 life.
00:38:32.820 We need that
00:38:33.620 checklist posted
00:38:34.680 in the show
00:38:35.380 notes so that
00:38:36.520 young women
00:38:37.100 dating can just
00:38:37.920 quietly drop
00:38:38.940 these questions.
00:38:40.060 Can't do it all
00:38:40.720 at once, ladies. 0.75
00:38:41.420 It's too on the
00:38:41.940 nose.
00:38:42.500 But, you know,
00:38:42.900 just like over
00:38:43.300 the first date,
00:38:44.000 you could maybe
00:38:44.360 squeeze in two,
00:38:45.620 you know,
00:38:46.120 second date,
00:38:47.080 have like a
00:38:47.480 friend show up
00:38:48.140 and ask a few.
00:38:49.040 There must be a
00:38:49.640 way of peppering
00:38:50.460 these if your
00:38:51.880 instincts haven't
00:38:52.600 served you well.
00:38:53.660 I would be a
00:38:55.200 little cautious
00:38:55.940 about it just
00:38:57.220 because, you
00:38:58.960 know, people who
00:38:59.700 haven't done this
00:39:00.520 thousands of
00:39:01.320 times can sort
00:39:02.680 of misinterpret
00:39:03.500 behavior.
00:39:04.020 There's a lot of
00:39:04.780 things that people,
00:39:05.700 a lot of little
00:39:06.240 traits or
00:39:07.640 characteristics of
00:39:10.340 psychological
00:39:11.220 disorders,
00:39:13.280 minor characteristics
00:39:14.640 of them that
00:39:15.480 we all have.
00:39:16.400 But people can
00:39:17.120 see those minor
00:39:17.860 characteristics and
00:39:19.140 think it means
00:39:20.040 everything in the
00:39:21.580 diagnostic category
00:39:22.780 and they could be
00:39:24.760 wrong that way.
00:39:25.380 although we just
00:39:27.240 we actually did
00:39:28.460 a show for
00:39:29.440 Audible and
00:39:30.500 it's called
00:39:31.200 Am I Dating a
00:39:31.760 Serial Killer?
00:39:33.000 I wanted to ask
00:39:33.800 you about that.
00:39:35.140 And believe me,
00:39:36.580 when, you know,
00:39:38.940 some of it's kind
00:39:39.540 of lighthearted and
00:39:40.540 it's hosted by a
00:39:41.760 comedian.
00:39:42.400 So we try to be
00:39:43.580 get to the lighter
00:39:44.500 side of it.
00:39:45.100 But there was one
00:39:45.840 case in particular
00:39:46.920 where they called me
00:39:47.760 in to interview this
00:39:48.760 woman because I 0.94
00:39:50.560 believe she was
00:39:51.560 dating a psychopath.
00:39:52.760 I believe that he
00:39:54.680 was a very
00:39:55.780 dangerous person
00:39:57.000 and in fact he
00:39:58.480 did end up
00:39:59.840 killing someone.
00:40:00.840 So you should be
00:40:02.920 incredibly careful
00:40:04.280 when you meet
00:40:05.880 somebody new
00:40:06.520 because especially
00:40:08.180 somebody who is
00:40:09.520 charming,
00:40:11.240 charismatic and
00:40:12.340 energetic and
00:40:13.620 has all these
00:40:14.500 amazing stories,
00:40:15.700 you should kind of
00:40:17.260 dig down and
00:40:18.520 meet their friends
00:40:19.680 and their families.
00:40:20.560 And if they say,
00:40:21.800 well, I don't
00:40:22.320 really talk to my
00:40:23.040 families, big red
00:40:24.100 flag.
00:40:24.980 If they say, well,
00:40:26.060 I don't have a lot
00:40:26.660 of friends, big red
00:40:29.120 flag.
00:40:30.300 There are, you know,
00:40:31.380 if you look at,
00:40:32.680 let's say the
00:40:34.260 Tinder swindler, 0.52
00:40:36.400 that guy, I mean,
00:40:37.740 when he did his
00:40:39.080 thing, he made
00:40:40.140 women feel 0.99
00:40:41.360 incredibly special.
00:40:42.620 He flew them on a
00:40:43.940 private jet.
00:40:44.480 He did all these
00:40:45.140 amazing things, all
00:40:46.000 these gifts.
00:40:46.860 He said his life
00:40:47.940 was totally consumed
00:40:49.100 by them.
00:40:50.320 Well, it's all a
00:40:52.380 very well planned
00:40:53.600 out manipulation
00:40:54.320 and you have to
00:40:56.480 be able to, as
00:40:58.120 much as you're
00:40:58.780 feeling great about
00:40:59.740 it and it's amazing
00:41:00.620 and it's exactly
00:41:01.280 what you wanted,
00:41:02.360 if it's real, it
00:41:04.180 will survive you
00:41:04.960 stepping back and
00:41:06.200 taking some time
00:41:07.000 and saying, okay,
00:41:08.540 this is what we're
00:41:09.460 going to do.
00:41:09.900 We're going to slow
00:41:10.520 this down.
00:41:11.260 We're going to look
00:41:11.800 into some things.
00:41:12.660 We're going to take
00:41:13.660 some time to actually
00:41:14.480 get to know each
00:41:15.120 other before we make
00:41:16.080 all these amazing
00:41:16.820 moves.
00:41:17.200 And that will put
00:41:19.060 a wrench in his
00:41:20.000 plans because he
00:41:21.340 needs you to go
00:41:22.260 fast so that he
00:41:23.120 can move on to the
00:41:23.800 next one and the
00:41:24.420 next one and the
00:41:25.020 next one.
00:41:26.380 Maybe, maybe it's
00:41:28.200 not so bad to be
00:41:29.380 dating somebody who's
00:41:30.140 a little dull.
00:41:31.140 Maybe you could,
00:41:32.420 maybe dull in the
00:41:33.480 beginning is good
00:41:34.460 because it sounds
00:41:35.180 like they don't
00:41:36.160 tend to project
00:41:36.800 dull if they're 0.64
00:41:37.900 trying to swindle
00:41:38.800 you or woo you
00:41:39.900 or just get you
00:41:41.380 under their power.
00:41:43.180 So yeah, okay,
00:41:43.760 that's a good thing
00:41:44.240 to look for.
00:41:45.320 I mean, ideally
00:41:45.780 hot but dull.
00:41:46.660 So consider that
00:41:47.680 ladies and we'll 1.00
00:41:48.600 continue more of
00:41:49.520 this in a little bit
00:41:50.220 with Jim because
00:41:50.760 we definitely want
00:41:51.820 to know more about
00:41:52.500 am I dating a serial
00:41:53.700 killer?
00:41:54.080 Who doesn't, who
00:41:54.740 wouldn't listen to
00:41:55.380 that?
00:41:56.560 Okay, so and by
00:41:57.980 the way, just because
00:41:58.640 you're not a serial
00:41:59.980 killer doesn't mean
00:42:00.560 you're safe.
00:42:01.100 I mean, psychopath,
00:42:01.980 sociopath, these
00:42:02.620 are all deeply
00:42:03.320 problematic.
00:42:04.200 Killing animals,
00:42:05.380 always deeply
00:42:05.900 problematic and
00:42:06.600 people, women
00:42:08.480 overlook it.
00:42:09.320 It's like, oh,
00:42:10.060 what do you mean
00:42:10.540 he killed the
00:42:11.040 family cat?
00:42:12.260 Oh, but he's so
00:42:12.940 handsome and he
00:42:13.740 treats me so well.
00:42:14.660 Ladies, pay 1.00
00:42:15.860 attention.
00:42:16.320 All right, wait,
00:42:16.640 stand by because
00:42:17.140 I want to get to,
00:42:18.320 I want to get back
00:42:18.920 to Sniper and get
00:42:19.640 us through that.
00:42:20.700 So now we move
00:42:21.420 on to the next
00:42:22.120 day and it takes
00:42:24.220 us to October
00:42:24.720 4th.
00:42:25.580 Another person is
00:42:27.440 shot, though she
00:42:28.360 survives.
00:42:29.380 A 43-year-old woman,
00:42:30.820 Caroline Sewell, back
00:42:32.600 to Michael's, a
00:42:33.300 parking lot.
00:42:34.480 She's putting her
00:42:35.080 bags inside of her
00:42:35.860 Toyota minivan.
00:42:36.800 You can picture it,
00:42:37.440 can't you?
00:42:37.980 You know, you can
00:42:38.740 picture yourself doing
00:42:39.600 this.
00:42:40.280 Amazingly, she
00:42:40.940 survives.
00:42:41.520 But the D.C.,
00:42:43.440 Virginia, Maryland
00:42:44.700 sort of area is
00:42:46.940 absolutely in a
00:42:48.460 panic now.
00:42:49.000 I mean, as we
00:42:49.440 discussed.
00:42:49.980 And here's just a
00:42:50.680 little bit of sound
00:42:52.560 from locals at and
00:42:54.360 around that time.
00:42:55.160 This is SOT 5.
00:42:55.780 I do walk around my
00:43:01.160 community with a
00:43:01.840 little more caution
00:43:02.720 than I did before.
00:43:03.840 They can't go outside
00:43:05.160 and the blinds in the
00:43:06.980 schools are all closed
00:43:08.080 so it's very much a
00:43:09.440 bunker kind of
00:43:10.460 mentality, you know,
00:43:11.600 feeling that they're
00:43:13.020 experiencing.
00:43:14.100 As soon as people get
00:43:15.040 home from work, they
00:43:16.580 stay in.
00:43:17.100 They're not going out.
00:43:17.840 Even the restaurants
00:43:18.520 are, there's nobody in
00:43:20.340 the restaurants.
00:43:21.420 Residents of
00:43:22.120 Washington have faced
00:43:23.080 an awful lot of stuff
00:43:24.160 in the last year.
00:43:25.060 We're from people
00:43:26.180 flying airplanes into
00:43:28.140 buildings to the
00:43:29.840 anthrax attacks.
00:43:31.900 We face, you know,
00:43:34.140 crazy shooters most
00:43:36.480 days of the year, at
00:43:37.580 least the threat of
00:43:38.320 it.
00:43:39.880 So we're just trying
00:43:40.940 to go along as
00:43:41.640 business as usual.
00:43:43.360 Yeah.
00:43:44.080 I mean, easier said
00:43:45.860 than done.
00:43:46.420 Yeah, that man was an 1.00
00:43:48.000 anomaly at the time.
00:43:49.100 And I'll tell you,
00:43:50.320 both Tim, my brother
00:43:51.420 Tim, who was also an
00:43:52.300 FBI agent, and I
00:43:53.360 arrived at that
00:43:54.600 Michael store at
00:43:55.700 exactly the same
00:43:56.680 time because it
00:43:57.840 turns out that it
00:43:59.000 is almost equidistant
00:44:00.820 between our two
00:44:02.040 houses.
00:44:02.720 We literally pulled
00:44:03.880 up.
00:44:04.160 I look over as I'm
00:44:05.820 pulling into a parking
00:44:06.820 space.
00:44:07.480 He's pulling into the
00:44:08.540 one right next to me.
00:44:09.560 And we ran up to the
00:44:10.760 sheriff and we said,
00:44:11.740 you know, how can we
00:44:12.740 help?
00:44:13.240 And unfortunately,
00:44:15.500 I wouldn't say that
00:44:17.980 the sheriff had been
00:44:19.480 equipped or his
00:44:21.460 department to handle
00:44:22.640 something like this.
00:44:23.920 The fact is that all
00:44:26.000 these shootings the
00:44:27.920 days before happened
00:44:29.360 up north of Washington,
00:44:31.140 D.C.
00:44:31.520 and just touching into
00:44:32.540 the north side of
00:44:33.420 Washington, D.C.
00:44:34.240 And now he goes 50
00:44:36.160 miles south of
00:44:37.080 Washington, D.C.
00:44:38.120 What the hell is going
00:44:39.220 on here?
00:44:39.940 But to me, the first
00:44:42.080 thing that I thought
00:44:42.860 was, hmm, kind of did
00:44:45.400 all these shootings
00:44:46.200 north of D.C., working
00:44:47.840 his way into D.C., just
00:44:49.860 touching into D.C., and
00:44:51.760 then he jumps 50
00:44:52.720 miles south.
00:44:53.700 Why is he avoiding
00:44:54.500 Washington, D.C.?
00:44:56.260 Hmm.
00:44:57.500 Possibly because he
00:44:58.960 knows he'd go head to
00:45:00.640 head with the FBI and
00:45:02.480 the other federal
00:45:03.160 agencies in Washington,
00:45:04.700 D.C.
00:45:05.160 who have a worldwide
00:45:07.380 network of agents and
00:45:09.300 communication versus the
00:45:11.400 small towns around D.C.
00:45:13.140 that have access to D.C.'s
00:45:14.940 news.
00:45:15.440 But they don't have
00:45:17.920 the FBI.
00:45:19.660 They don't have federal
00:45:20.880 law enforcement.
00:45:22.100 They don't have big
00:45:23.460 city, big police
00:45:25.440 departments.
00:45:26.500 Oh, so funny.
00:45:27.200 And so he's dancing
00:45:27.940 around the biggest media
00:45:29.920 circus in the world,
00:45:31.400 but not dealing head to
00:45:33.820 head with big law
00:45:35.460 enforcement.
00:45:36.160 So you're getting this
00:45:36.960 picture of somebody who
00:45:38.280 has some sophistication,
00:45:39.960 for sure.
00:45:40.440 Exactly.
00:45:40.620 This is not some
00:45:41.280 bumpkin.
00:45:42.700 And is thinking about
00:45:43.900 what he's doing and why
00:45:44.900 he's doing it.
00:45:45.640 So he's a planner.
00:45:46.760 He's a manipulator.
00:45:47.900 But Tim and I, we we
00:45:49.820 ended up finding out
00:45:51.840 that that the sheriff
00:45:52.940 had let go all of the
00:45:56.240 all of the witnesses
00:45:57.480 that had been there,
00:45:58.500 did not take any names
00:46:01.420 and and did not do a
00:46:04.140 canvas of the area for
00:46:06.000 any forensics.
00:46:08.680 Actually, the media line
00:46:10.880 that he set up had been
00:46:11.940 about 50 feet away from
00:46:14.080 where the van was.
00:46:16.780 And what I did was I
00:46:18.080 I looked at the angle of
00:46:19.240 entry because the bullet
00:46:20.440 went through her and
00:46:21.820 into the back of her van.
00:46:23.820 And so I looked at the
00:46:24.520 angle of entry and then
00:46:25.880 I spotted a sign a few
00:46:28.280 hundred yards away and
00:46:29.940 I started walking off a
00:46:31.400 grid to do a grid search
00:46:33.120 of the area.
00:46:33.620 This is something that I'm
00:46:34.660 very experienced in.
00:46:35.760 And and I walked 87
00:46:37.560 strides.
00:46:39.860 Till I found a shell
00:46:41.720 casing from a two to
00:46:42.760 three.
00:46:43.920 And that was the kind of
00:46:45.040 weapon that was being
00:46:45.780 used.
00:46:46.440 So although the press
00:46:48.680 were at 50 feet from
00:46:50.540 the van, this.
00:46:53.820 Piece of evidence was
00:46:55.540 87 yards away, so we
00:46:57.320 had to contaminate the
00:46:58.260 whole crime scene.
00:46:59.360 Well, they could have.
00:47:00.280 But the fact is that
00:47:02.040 this is why I think he
00:47:03.740 chose small town law
00:47:05.200 enforcement versus the
00:47:07.140 big guns.
00:47:08.140 And he was very smart to
00:47:09.740 do that.
00:47:10.140 And he would continue to
00:47:11.160 do that dancing back and
00:47:12.420 forth north and south
00:47:13.580 around Washington, D.C.
00:47:15.580 and not in Washington, D.C.
00:47:17.520 properly.
00:47:17.740 Can you explain more
00:47:18.920 about the weapon?
00:47:19.920 You know, in today's day
00:47:21.340 and age, everyone's
00:47:22.260 familiar now with AR-15,
00:47:24.180 less so this rifle.
00:47:26.240 Yeah, I mean, it is
00:47:27.720 it's a two to three.
00:47:29.880 It is a very
00:47:30.720 Bushmaster.
00:47:31.740 It's a Bushmaster two to
00:47:33.840 three.
00:47:34.160 It's just that's just a
00:47:35.280 brand.
00:47:35.860 I mean, it's the same
00:47:36.920 kind of weapon that
00:47:38.420 an M-16 would 0.80
00:47:40.760 be.
00:47:41.580 The project, the
00:47:42.980 shell casing is rather
00:47:44.560 large and the projectile
00:47:46.120 is rather small, which
00:47:47.500 means it's going to go
00:47:48.640 fast and far.
00:47:50.500 It's a it's a it's
00:47:52.420 an accurate weapon.
00:47:53.600 It's very automatic.
00:47:55.200 Yes, it's semi-automatic.
00:47:56.840 And it's and it's
00:47:57.760 basically the kind of
00:47:59.220 weapon that, you
00:48:00.940 know, troops on the
00:48:01.860 ground and military will
00:48:03.000 use because it's so
00:48:04.080 simple.
00:48:04.600 It's very hard to jam.
00:48:05.960 You could stick it in mud
00:48:07.300 and pick it back up and
00:48:08.760 and still use the weapon.
00:48:10.380 And so it's it's a very
00:48:12.360 reliable type of weapon
00:48:13.900 and and certainly
00:48:15.620 functional for this
00:48:17.920 particular type of crime.
00:48:22.100 Troops use machine guns.
00:48:23.620 This is not that.
00:48:24.960 This is.
00:48:25.320 No, this is one single.
00:48:26.540 Right.
00:48:26.900 One bullet trigger, one
00:48:27.840 bullet.
00:48:28.260 Right.
00:48:28.940 But so far, that's
00:48:31.000 all he's needed.
00:48:32.120 Yeah.
00:48:32.400 Yeah.
00:48:32.500 One shot, one kill.
00:48:34.020 And that that is
00:48:35.620 something that is really
00:48:36.820 up until this.
00:48:38.700 It's very scary because
00:48:40.260 it also tells us that this
00:48:41.580 person really knows what
00:48:43.380 he's doing, because in
00:48:45.380 order for him to be
00:48:47.060 invisible, in other
00:48:48.320 words, nobody actually
00:48:49.320 saw him pull the trigger
00:48:51.720 ever.
00:48:52.380 It means he has to have a
00:48:54.640 really good sniper's
00:48:55.560 perch.
00:48:55.880 and since it's out
00:48:58.080 in public in the
00:48:59.400 daylight, that means he
00:49:01.480 has some way of
00:49:02.560 concealing himself.
00:49:03.940 And of course, people
00:49:05.500 started hearing.
00:49:06.620 We started hearing about
00:49:07.720 a white van who
00:49:09.340 that sped away from one
00:49:11.320 of the scenes.
00:49:12.540 Well, if you heard
00:49:13.820 shots and you were in a
00:49:14.860 white van, well, it's
00:49:15.680 very reasonable that you
00:49:16.720 might want to speed
00:49:17.520 away.
00:49:18.380 It's also very important
00:49:19.540 to know that a white
00:49:21.500 commercial van is
00:49:26.440 actually the most
00:49:27.700 common type of van
00:49:29.160 used in small
00:49:31.040 businesses.
00:49:31.960 And in fact, one of
00:49:34.120 the cable companies
00:49:35.840 the year before had
00:49:37.820 sold off 1,800 of
00:49:40.320 these white vans in the
00:49:41.960 area because they were
00:49:44.600 doing and ramping up a
00:49:47.040 new fleet.
00:49:48.440 And so there were
00:49:50.720 overabundance.
00:49:52.600 And I think at one of
00:49:53.600 the shooting scenes
00:49:54.400 when one of the local
00:49:56.780 police officers told my
00:49:58.040 brother, yeah, we're
00:49:58.860 looking for the white 0.89
00:49:59.620 van.
00:50:00.040 Somebody saw the white
00:50:00.840 van.
00:50:01.700 My brother said, okay,
00:50:02.480 stop right here.
00:50:03.320 We're at an
00:50:03.720 intersection.
00:50:05.340 I want you to count the
00:50:06.300 number of white vans you
00:50:07.640 see right now.
00:50:08.560 And it was nine or 13
00:50:10.260 white vans that just in
00:50:12.080 their sight line right
00:50:13.000 then.
00:50:13.660 So somebody's always
00:50:14.460 going to be searching
00:50:15.420 for the white van if
00:50:16.260 somebody tells you to
00:50:17.380 think about the white 0.74
00:50:18.300 van, you're going to
00:50:19.340 see the white van.
00:50:21.420 I mean, I've told my
00:50:22.320 kids, like, as you get
00:50:24.580 to be driving age or
00:50:25.640 you're driving with your
00:50:26.380 friends or whatever, do
00:50:27.740 not park next to vans.
00:50:29.220 Do not park next to a 1.00
00:50:30.180 van.
00:50:30.360 There is no point.
00:50:31.580 There's no reason.
00:50:32.360 There's plenty of
00:50:32.800 parking spots.
00:50:34.220 Just bad things happen.
00:50:35.460 It's just too easy for
00:50:36.560 bad guys to reach out and
00:50:38.260 grab somebody who's 0.91
00:50:39.420 smaller, weaker, and
00:50:41.420 take them.
00:50:41.880 No question.
00:50:42.500 It's good to be
00:50:43.220 proactive.
00:50:43.760 It's good to be
00:50:44.280 situationally aware.
00:50:45.280 And in this case, what
00:50:47.760 ends up happening is
00:50:49.200 that the sheriff, when
00:50:51.840 I went back and talked
00:50:52.680 to him and I said,
00:50:53.660 what have the people
00:50:55.940 said?
00:50:56.280 Because Michael's is
00:50:57.480 literally in the parking
00:50:58.780 lot of what's called the
00:51:00.160 Spotsylvania mall.
00:51:01.480 And I looked around.
00:51:02.460 There were at least
00:51:02.940 3000 cars visible to me
00:51:05.520 at that time.
00:51:06.860 And I said, what
00:51:08.720 witnesses?
00:51:09.320 What have they said?
00:51:10.460 And he said, there were
00:51:11.300 no witnesses.
00:51:11.860 And I said, come on,
00:51:15.160 somebody, somebody must
00:51:16.540 have said something.
00:51:17.340 And he said, well, there's
00:51:18.080 this one guy, but he's
00:51:19.040 18 years old and he uses
00:51:20.780 drugs and he's lied to us
00:51:22.040 before.
00:51:23.340 And he said, what?
00:51:26.680 And I said, what?
00:51:27.660 Well, what did he say?
00:51:28.840 He said he said it was a
00:51:31.500 black guy with an Afro 0.99
00:51:33.040 peeled out in a dark
00:51:34.560 sedan.
00:51:35.500 And I said, great.
00:51:36.280 Did you put out an APB on
00:51:37.720 it?
00:51:37.860 He said, no, I put out the
00:51:39.360 APB on the white van, just
00:51:40.920 like Chief Moose told us.
00:51:43.440 Wow.
00:51:44.500 And I just, you know, took
00:51:46.160 in a deep breath, but I
00:51:47.320 also clocked it.
00:51:48.520 Now, this is an unreliable
00:51:49.660 witness who has lied to the
00:51:50.820 police before, who's a drug
00:51:52.180 user, but.
00:51:54.740 It could.
00:51:55.320 Why would you lie about
00:51:56.120 this?
00:51:56.560 Yeah, it could be.
00:51:57.940 And the other thing is
00:51:59.080 our viewers may not
00:52:01.040 maybe they do remember, but
00:52:02.660 there we didn't have cameras
00:52:03.980 everywhere back then.
00:52:05.100 This is immediately post
00:52:06.260 9-11.
00:52:06.980 It would take a while for
00:52:08.020 that apparatus to get up at
00:52:09.360 every corner of America.
00:52:10.940 It wasn't there yet.
00:52:12.800 And not only that, this was
00:52:14.160 a very rural area.
00:52:15.520 This is Fredericksburg,
00:52:16.760 Virginia.
00:52:17.240 In fact, it's Spotsylvania
00:52:18.700 County, Virginia.
00:52:19.900 And it's a tiny little area
00:52:22.040 that has that happens to
00:52:23.600 have some box stores and
00:52:25.360 some mall.
00:52:26.600 But it's generally it's
00:52:28.800 just a very suburban
00:52:30.380 55 miles away from
00:52:32.920 Washington, D.C.
00:52:33.980 kind of quiet little
00:52:36.160 bedroom town.
00:52:38.000 And nobody
00:52:39.100 The iPhone didn't come
00:52:39.860 out until 2007 as well.
00:52:41.960 So people weren't
00:52:42.820 popping open their phones
00:52:44.080 and getting the immediate
00:52:45.100 aftermath.
00:52:45.860 Sometimes it bears
00:52:46.840 reminders, you know,
00:52:48.460 about how we used to live
00:52:49.880 versus now and these things
00:52:51.200 that we've just become
00:52:51.920 accustomed to.
00:52:52.680 You're right.
00:52:53.720 Yeah, we were using
00:52:54.780 pagers in the FBI at the
00:52:56.320 time.
00:52:56.960 Mm hmm.
00:52:57.660 OK, so the next
00:53:00.020 shooting and thank goodness
00:53:03.400 this person survived was
00:53:04.940 of a child, a 13 year
00:53:06.740 old shot, critically
00:53:07.720 wounded outside of the
00:53:09.000 Benjamin Tasker Middle
00:53:09.920 School in Bowie, Maryland.
00:53:11.520 So he was shot in the
00:53:12.760 chest, but he survived.
00:53:14.280 He would later testify at
00:53:15.460 one of the trials.
00:53:17.080 And two days later, on
00:53:19.140 October 9th, 2002, keep
00:53:21.080 in mind, again, this
00:53:21.620 started as far as we know
00:53:22.780 on October 2nd.
00:53:24.000 So here we are a week
00:53:24.720 into this.
00:53:25.180 A tarot card is found
00:53:27.540 near the scene of that
00:53:29.060 shooting at the school.
00:53:31.060 And this is a, I would
00:53:32.940 say, first big clue.
00:53:34.700 No, absolutely.
00:53:35.860 Well, the first big clue
00:53:38.280 about that is that this
00:53:40.200 was a response to a lot
00:53:42.840 of the.
00:53:45.120 Unfortunate statements
00:53:46.800 that police and political
00:53:48.740 figures in the area were
00:53:50.320 making at the time, we
00:53:51.700 told them that the
00:53:53.420 sniper has a God
00:53:54.420 complex and the last
00:53:56.380 thing you want to do is
00:53:57.280 challenge that sniper.
00:53:58.760 What you want to do is
00:53:59.960 appease them and then
00:54:02.020 hopefully they will sort
00:54:04.160 of lower their
00:54:05.860 aggression and actually
00:54:07.560 start communicating.
00:54:09.140 Instead, what happened
00:54:10.520 was the chief, chief
00:54:13.900 Moose made a statement
00:54:15.120 that the streets are
00:54:16.320 safe, the schools are
00:54:17.300 safe.
00:54:17.840 So to prove them wrong
00:54:19.700 after they called the
00:54:20.960 sniper a coward, going
00:54:23.240 after unarmed people,
00:54:24.420 all this other stuff,
00:54:25.960 person after person was
00:54:27.200 paraded in front of the
00:54:28.280 cameras saying that they
00:54:30.060 wanted to to make a
00:54:31.460 statement.
00:54:31.960 And what they did was they
00:54:33.180 shot somebody on their way
00:54:35.300 into school, this 13 year
00:54:36.700 old boy.
00:54:37.720 And like you said, luckily
00:54:38.580 he survived.
00:54:40.400 And when they did the
00:54:42.320 search there, they found
00:54:43.780 the sniper perch in a patch
00:54:45.260 of woods next to the
00:54:46.440 school.
00:54:46.820 And this tarot card was
00:54:48.600 there and very, very
00:54:52.560 in alignment with our
00:54:55.800 profile at this point was
00:54:57.860 the statement on the top,
00:54:59.920 call me God.
00:55:00.820 And this confirmed, and I
00:55:03.800 think finally chief Moose
00:55:05.380 listened to us about this
00:55:08.860 sniper.
00:55:09.920 It's the death tarot card
00:55:11.800 and it says, call me God on
00:55:13.980 it.
00:55:14.200 And then on the back is,
00:55:15.740 says, this is for you, Mr.
00:55:17.120 Police, no press and call me
00:55:21.380 God again.
00:55:22.240 And this was a very
00:55:24.280 interesting thing.
00:55:25.180 And as we began to really
00:55:28.440 crunch all this data that
00:55:30.480 we were getting, the
00:55:31.540 information from all the
00:55:33.380 shootings that happened in
00:55:34.420 one day with one shot,
00:55:36.040 one kill, the fact that
00:55:37.420 he's bouncing around to
00:55:38.420 these small jurisdictions,
00:55:39.420 the fact that nobody has
00:55:40.640 actually seen him, the
00:55:41.740 fact that everybody's
00:55:42.500 chasing ghost white vans,
00:55:44.240 the fact that he
00:55:45.100 communicated with us saying,
00:55:46.600 call me God.
00:55:47.600 And the fact that he said,
00:55:49.140 this is for you, Mr.
00:55:50.880 Police.
00:55:52.000 Well, that really raised
00:55:54.540 some issues with Jim
00:55:56.920 Fitzgerald, who was my
00:55:58.640 buddy in the behavioral
00:55:59.440 analysis unit and who had
00:56:01.180 started forensic linguistic
00:56:03.260 profiling.
00:56:04.240 And that is using the
00:56:06.300 actual content of the
00:56:07.540 words, the construction of
00:56:09.360 the language to tell a lot
00:56:12.160 about the writer.
00:56:13.780 And what we found was a
00:56:16.560 great amount of detail that
00:56:19.140 we would start to think
00:56:21.120 about, but we didn't
00:56:23.040 actually have sort of a
00:56:24.600 a, you know, sit down,
00:56:27.140 drag out profile session
00:56:28.720 until a few days, several
00:56:30.680 days later.
00:56:32.680 So the tarot card was
00:56:34.960 big, but the focus on the
00:56:37.100 white van would continue.
00:56:39.200 For example, the same day
00:56:41.260 the tarot card was found,
00:56:42.400 October 9th, another
00:56:44.000 shooting.
00:56:44.740 Dean Harold Myers, 53 of
00:56:46.300 Gaithersburg, Maryland,
00:56:47.280 killed while pumping gas at a
00:56:49.140 station in Manassas,
00:56:50.040 Virginia, a white minivan
00:56:52.140 seen in the area is first
00:56:53.700 thought to have some
00:56:54.500 connection with the
00:56:55.320 shooting later cleared by
00:56:57.360 police.
00:56:58.620 October 11th, 2002,
00:57:00.900 Kenneth Bridges, 53, a
00:57:02.280 Philadelphia businessman
00:57:03.180 killed at an Exxon station
00:57:04.880 just off I-95 near
00:57:06.160 Fredericksburg, Virginia.
00:57:08.500 Police enforce a huge
00:57:09.880 road roadblock trying to
00:57:11.620 find a white van like
00:57:12.900 vehicle with a ladder rack
00:57:14.780 on top.
00:57:15.260 Sorry, go ahead, Jim.
00:57:16.500 And let me tell you
00:57:17.040 something about that.
00:57:17.700 That was Massaponics, 0.98
00:57:18.900 Virginia.
00:57:19.320 It's the exit just south
00:57:20.780 of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
00:57:21.980 So just south of where
00:57:23.320 the Michaels shooting
00:57:24.520 happened, just one exit
00:57:26.040 down the road.
00:57:27.420 My brother was one of the
00:57:30.000 first law enforcement to
00:57:31.320 show up at that scene.
00:57:33.320 And as soon as he got
00:57:34.900 there, he called his wife.
00:57:36.620 They lived, as I said,
00:57:37.880 just not a short distance
00:57:39.620 away.
00:57:41.260 And he said, stay inside,
00:57:44.320 whatever you do, don't
00:57:45.100 come out here.
00:57:45.840 And she said, I just left
00:57:48.560 that very gas station.
00:57:50.260 And she literally had the
00:57:52.420 receipt from pumping gas
00:57:55.060 literally 10 minutes before
00:57:57.160 the shot was fired there.
00:57:59.100 Now, fortunately, she was in
00:58:00.960 a big white van, but it was
00:58:02.440 one of those big 15
00:58:03.680 passenger white vans that
00:58:05.880 stands taller than she is.
00:58:07.940 So a sniper would never have
00:58:09.620 had a shot with her standing
00:58:11.420 next to that van.
00:58:12.780 It was very fortunate.
00:58:13.920 But unfortunately, the man
00:58:15.540 who did stop there, he
00:58:17.760 literally stopped there
00:58:19.160 because he didn't want to
00:58:20.900 have to.
00:58:21.760 He was driving up to
00:58:22.560 Philadelphia, I believe.
00:58:23.780 He didn't want to have to
00:58:24.640 stop anywhere near D.C.
00:58:26.900 because of the sniper.
00:58:28.300 He said, I'll fill up my
00:58:29.640 tank here and then I'll be
00:58:31.360 able to drive the rest of
00:58:32.360 the way to Philly.
00:58:33.280 He was actually on the
00:58:34.180 phone with his wife telling
00:58:35.280 her that when he was shot
00:58:36.760 and killed.
00:58:37.160 Oh, poor guy.
00:58:37.860 It's just a terribly tragic
00:58:38.860 story.
00:58:39.840 And this is another reason
00:58:40.900 why the whole thing was so
00:58:41.800 disconcerting is and I
00:58:43.220 talked about this with our
00:58:44.140 with our guest on the
00:58:45.420 Zodiac killings in which
00:58:47.620 the people there seemed to
00:58:50.040 be no motive.
00:58:51.120 You know, the Zodiac killer
00:58:52.260 didn't steal purses or
00:58:53.740 wallets or commit sexual
00:58:56.280 assaults.
00:58:56.980 It just seemed to be
00:58:58.160 killing for fun.
00:58:59.880 And so it was like those
00:59:01.360 are especially disturbing
00:59:02.660 because we like to believe
00:59:04.440 we can find patterns that
00:59:05.760 we can then avoid that will
00:59:07.520 keep us safe.
00:59:08.420 I think it's just a
00:59:09.500 psychological, psychological
00:59:10.720 crutch.
00:59:11.400 And this is similar.
00:59:14.000 It's lacking any crutch for
00:59:15.580 any sane person to try to
00:59:17.600 use because this could have
00:59:19.600 happened to anyone, a child
00:59:21.480 near a school, a person
00:59:23.180 pumping gas, a person
00:59:24.800 getting groceries, a man
00:59:26.280 walking down the street.
00:59:27.520 It's like the liquor store,
00:59:29.580 the parking lots.
00:59:30.840 There's just no stopping
00:59:32.020 anything you did forever as
00:59:33.220 a hermit was was a risk.
00:59:35.180 Anything you did.
00:59:36.400 And as I said earlier,
00:59:37.240 people were literally putting
00:59:39.200 up blankets over every
00:59:40.800 window in their house.
00:59:41.720 They were afraid not only
00:59:43.000 of going out in public,
00:59:44.340 they were afraid that since
00:59:46.280 so many people were off the
00:59:47.520 street that the sniper was
00:59:49.160 going to start shooting
00:59:49.840 people in their own homes.
00:59:51.420 This is a it's a very
00:59:53.580 effective tool when you
00:59:55.140 randomly kill people at
00:59:57.080 will with nobody being able
00:59:59.440 to identify you or stop you.
01:00:01.580 The terror level just kept
01:00:03.340 rising over these 23 days.
01:00:05.180 It just became unbelievably
01:00:08.120 scary just to live and
01:00:10.040 operate in that area.
01:00:11.420 My brother.
01:00:14.000 To his credit, he he ran
01:00:17.160 the SWAT team at the
01:00:18.720 Washington Field Office of
01:00:19.800 the FBI, he had all his
01:00:21.640 SWAT team members out
01:00:22.960 patrolling the area because
01:00:25.320 he started we helped him
01:00:27.200 kind of profile the kinds of
01:00:28.840 places that that these
01:00:30.700 shootings were taking place.
01:00:31.720 They were all near good
01:00:33.480 avenues for egress, a 0.67
01:00:35.800 highway nearby so they can
01:00:37.140 get away fast. 0.69
01:00:38.200 That was important to the
01:00:39.680 shooter.
01:00:40.100 So he was driving around
01:00:43.300 to small towns, exits
01:00:46.100 around big highways so
01:00:48.680 that he could try to
01:00:49.940 interdict.
01:00:50.760 And unfortunately, he
01:00:53.840 was he actually heard the
01:00:55.340 shot at the Home Depot.
01:00:56.940 And I think that's the
01:00:58.380 next shooting.
01:01:00.520 Your brother did, Tim.
01:01:02.080 Yes, Tim did.
01:01:02.980 And he was the first law
01:01:04.980 enforcement to arrive at that
01:01:06.120 scene.
01:01:06.900 Oh, my God.
01:01:07.820 And unfortunately, it was a
01:01:09.560 it was an FBI employee that
01:01:11.500 had been shot and killed.
01:01:12.540 Yes.
01:01:13.000 Yes.
01:01:13.380 OK.
01:01:13.760 And that was a woman. 1.00
01:01:16.380 Right.
01:01:16.680 That was Linda Franklin, 0.99
01:01:17.920 47, Arlington,
01:01:19.660 Virginia.
01:01:20.420 This is the 11th victim,
01:01:22.400 though not yet fatality,
01:01:24.360 because to the early to the
01:01:26.480 earlier folks survived.
01:01:28.900 She was shot and killed by a 0.93
01:01:30.780 single gunshot in the Home
01:01:31.920 Depot parking lot in Falls,
01:01:33.100 Church, Virginia, an FBI
01:01:34.640 intelligence analyst.
01:01:36.120 And I knew that you and your
01:01:37.340 brother were working this case,
01:01:38.460 but I did not know that he was
01:01:40.400 the first on on that scene,
01:01:42.120 which must have been horrific.
01:01:43.320 Forty seven is not old.
01:01:45.180 And to have have it turn out to
01:01:47.000 be someone who's essentially a
01:01:48.180 colleague, even worse.
01:01:49.740 And he just he just describes,
01:01:53.060 you know, seeing her her husband,
01:01:55.680 you know, holding her and her
01:01:57.740 dying in his arms.
01:01:58.680 And it just was horrific.
01:02:00.080 And this really got him even
01:02:03.500 more riled up.
01:02:04.500 And he knew that that this was a
01:02:08.340 very sophisticated killer.
01:02:10.000 And we had been talking
01:02:11.440 throughout this whole process.
01:02:13.420 And at about this time, we
01:02:15.980 decided we need to really do
01:02:18.820 a push to try to gather
01:02:21.040 all this information and get
01:02:22.340 it out to all the law
01:02:23.900 enforcement agencies in the
01:02:25.100 area.
01:02:26.200 And it would be very
01:02:28.840 shortly after that, that
01:02:30.260 the Ashland shooting
01:02:32.220 happened.
01:02:33.340 That was that was even
01:02:35.240 further south away from
01:02:36.900 D.C., about halfway between
01:02:38.760 Fredericksburg and Richmond,
01:02:40.500 Virginia.
01:02:41.800 So that was October 19th.
01:02:43.840 That was October 19th,
01:02:45.000 2002, five days after
01:02:46.500 Franklin.
01:02:46.900 Between there.
01:02:48.040 I can't remember.
01:02:48.800 So there's two more.
01:02:50.200 And after Linda Franklin,
01:02:51.260 47, was killed.
01:02:52.360 Five days later, October 19th,
01:02:54.020 Jeffrey Hopper, 37, shot in a
01:02:56.180 parking lot at a Ponderosa
01:02:57.400 steakhouse.
01:02:58.600 To me, that is just so
01:02:59.700 That's the one in Ashland.
01:03:00.660 Yeah, that's the one.
01:03:01.660 He did survive.
01:03:02.780 He survived.
01:03:03.540 But, you know, the Ponderosa,
01:03:05.220 God, we all grew up going to the
01:03:06.440 Ponderosa.
01:03:07.100 It's just like these things that
01:03:08.040 are Americana, you know,
01:03:09.860 there's something about it that's
01:03:11.140 just it shakes you to the core.
01:03:13.780 The doctors were able to remove
01:03:14.920 the bullet from from Jeffrey
01:03:16.860 Hopper during surgery and
01:03:18.220 connect it to the others.
01:03:20.780 The ballistics coming back from
01:03:22.160 the other victims.
01:03:23.060 And amazingly, he did survive.
01:03:24.220 The final victim was October 22,
01:03:26.460 2002.
01:03:27.920 Bus driver Conrad Johnson,
01:03:29.640 35 of Oxen Hill, Maryland,
01:03:31.260 shot while just standing on the
01:03:32.860 top step inside of his commuter
01:03:34.340 bus in Aspen Hill, Maryland.
01:03:35.820 He would later die.
01:03:37.440 He was the 13th person known to
01:03:39.480 be shot by the D.C.
01:03:40.500 sniper.
01:03:41.880 Again, three of those survived.
01:03:43.720 Ten were killed.
01:03:44.680 Go ahead, Jim.
01:03:45.860 So what happened was that when
01:03:48.920 when the shot happened, I was
01:03:50.440 actually in the when the shooting
01:03:52.560 happened in Ashland, Virginia, I
01:03:54.040 was actually in Richmond, Virginia
01:03:55.580 at the time.
01:03:56.180 So I came up.
01:03:57.220 My brother got to the crime scene
01:03:59.460 before I did.
01:04:01.000 And he he found,
01:04:03.320 I'd say, a situation in great
01:04:05.620 disarray.
01:04:06.760 And what he did was he was
01:04:08.240 working with the FBI's human
01:04:10.580 scent recovery dogs.
01:04:12.540 And these dogs were
01:04:14.760 specially trained to
01:04:16.680 pick up the scent and
01:04:18.220 and actually follow the path
01:04:20.520 most recently taken by that
01:04:23.740 human if they're in this area.
01:04:25.220 And it's a it's a it's an
01:04:27.320 amazing program, but it would
01:04:28.620 take me many hours to actually
01:04:30.300 explain all the things they did.
01:04:31.960 But when my brother arrived,
01:04:34.100 all of the searchers were
01:04:37.360 going in a particular area
01:04:38.520 because the victim said,
01:04:40.520 I heard the shot and it came
01:04:41.900 from that direction.
01:04:43.400 And when Tim
01:04:45.200 when they presented the scent
01:04:48.180 pads from
01:04:49.520 the tarot card that had been
01:04:51.640 found and also
01:04:53.200 some of the shell casings that
01:04:55.080 had been found, they
01:04:56.680 they were able to
01:04:58.960 they got a scent and their dog
01:05:01.860 said that it was in the
01:05:03.300 opposite direction.
01:05:04.200 And all the cops said,
01:05:06.080 nah, it's not that way.
01:05:07.160 This is the way the victim
01:05:07.980 said it came from.
01:05:09.040 And Tim knew that
01:05:10.280 the guy was standing
01:05:11.820 next to a brick wall
01:05:13.580 and the
01:05:15.260 echoes that you can get
01:05:16.700 off a brick wall of a shot
01:05:18.160 can can make it sound
01:05:19.320 like it comes from anywhere.
01:05:20.520 And so he
01:05:21.860 he the dog takes off
01:05:23.320 in one direction.
01:05:24.000 As soon as they break
01:05:25.020 the line of the woods,
01:05:26.040 he sees an area where
01:05:27.520 it's laid out.
01:05:28.700 It's the leaves are all
01:05:29.820 crushed down like like
01:05:31.080 somebody was laying there
01:05:32.220 and he shines his
01:05:33.980 flashlight up and
01:05:35.000 they're tacked to a
01:05:36.440 tree is a
01:05:37.540 is a little baggie
01:05:39.060 like a Halloween baggie
01:05:40.620 with some pink
01:05:41.760 lined notepaper in it.
01:05:43.520 And he says, well,
01:05:45.300 obviously they left us
01:05:46.560 another message.
01:05:47.760 Unfortunately, there was a
01:05:48.840 big
01:05:49.180 argument about whether
01:05:51.800 or not they should open
01:05:52.740 this thing.
01:05:53.320 But Tim said, I can read
01:05:54.520 through it.
01:05:55.020 And it says.
01:05:57.340 The streets are not
01:05:58.380 safe.
01:05:58.780 Your children are not 0.97
01:05:59.860 safe anywhere, he
01:06:00.780 said, there's a threat
01:06:01.640 in this.
01:06:02.120 We need to open it now.
01:06:03.360 We need to get this
01:06:04.240 out to the public.
01:06:05.800 And because
01:06:07.320 it was in a small
01:06:08.500 town and they
01:06:09.580 didn't know who
01:06:10.280 should be in charge,
01:06:11.860 they decided to hold
01:06:13.180 on to it.
01:06:13.680 It was it was now
01:06:14.880 late, late, late
01:06:16.420 until the morning
01:06:17.140 and they wanted to
01:06:18.780 wait till the bosses
01:06:19.980 weighed in.
01:06:20.640 So they did not
01:06:21.500 open it in time
01:06:22.420 to get the call
01:06:23.640 that came into
01:06:24.320 that Ponderosa
01:06:25.500 at the
01:06:27.140 pay phone
01:06:28.860 right at the
01:06:29.420 front door
01:06:30.060 that was ringing
01:06:31.840 while they were
01:06:32.480 still on the scene
01:06:33.380 at six o'clock
01:06:34.600 in the morning
01:06:35.140 and nobody
01:06:35.900 answered the phone.
01:06:36.800 So it was an
01:06:37.420 attempt by the
01:06:38.800 sniper to actually
01:06:39.940 communicate with
01:06:41.580 law enforcement.
01:06:42.220 It's a missed
01:06:43.080 opportunity and
01:06:43.940 there would be
01:06:44.400 others, let me
01:06:45.060 tell you.
01:06:45.920 But the thing
01:06:47.400 that we knew
01:06:48.180 from this letter
01:06:49.180 when we finally
01:06:49.980 got it open
01:06:50.720 and we read
01:06:52.100 what was going
01:06:52.900 on, we saw
01:06:54.420 a huge
01:06:55.840 dichotomy
01:06:56.520 between the
01:06:57.580 actions, the
01:06:58.320 planning and
01:07:00.080 the execution
01:07:01.140 of the shootings
01:07:01.920 and then these
01:07:02.940 communications.
01:07:04.000 And you can see
01:07:05.080 it right now.
01:07:06.040 There are those
01:07:06.380 little stars on it.
01:07:07.660 This is the cover
01:07:08.140 sheet to the letter
01:07:08.960 that you just
01:07:09.380 referenced.
01:07:09.640 Let me just set it
01:07:10.180 up for the cover
01:07:11.260 sheet reads for
01:07:11.760 you, Mr.
01:07:12.240 Police, call me
01:07:12.840 God in quotes.
01:07:13.960 Do not release
01:07:14.760 to the press.
01:07:15.500 Keep going, Jim.
01:07:17.080 Yeah.
01:07:17.300 And you can see
01:07:18.140 there's stars on
01:07:19.000 it like like this
01:07:19.920 was a kindergarten
01:07:20.820 homework assignment
01:07:22.880 that was handed
01:07:23.500 in and done
01:07:24.120 well so the
01:07:24.740 teacher put
01:07:25.260 little stars on
01:07:26.060 it.
01:07:26.480 That's what it
01:07:27.040 looked like.
01:07:27.420 It was very
01:07:28.080 immature and
01:07:28.760 childish.
01:07:29.300 So when we
01:07:30.420 get into the
01:07:31.020 profiling room
01:07:32.340 and we're around
01:07:33.120 our table and
01:07:33.940 we're all arguing
01:07:34.740 about this case
01:07:35.520 and trying to
01:07:36.020 figure out who
01:07:36.900 this sniper is,
01:07:39.260 we had definitely
01:07:41.320 nailed down that
01:07:42.100 this is a very
01:07:43.060 experienced and
01:07:45.020 sophisticated person
01:07:46.500 who's probably
01:07:47.460 now we're
01:07:48.800 thinking in his
01:07:49.780 early to mid
01:07:50.940 40s who is
01:07:52.240 police or
01:07:53.200 military trained
01:07:54.040 police or
01:07:54.840 military experienced
01:07:55.900 who is on a
01:07:58.940 mission.
01:07:59.560 Like he literally
01:08:00.720 has a very
01:08:03.080 specific mission
01:08:04.200 and he's carrying
01:08:05.180 it out flawlessly.
01:08:06.620 Nobody has seen
01:08:07.520 him yet.
01:08:09.020 And so we kind
01:08:12.480 of nailed those
01:08:13.080 aspects of the
01:08:13.720 profile and Jim
01:08:14.960 Fitzgerald says
01:08:15.900 guys, I
01:08:17.240 understand exactly
01:08:18.180 what you're saying
01:08:18.780 and I agree with
01:08:20.260 you, but here's
01:08:21.200 the problem.
01:08:22.500 When this guy's
01:08:23.420 communicating with
01:08:24.500 us, I got to
01:08:26.440 say he's
01:08:28.100 he's immature. 0.69
01:08:29.300 He says this is
01:08:30.320 for you, Mr.
01:08:31.180 Police, as if he's
01:08:32.060 looking up to the
01:08:33.000 police, he's
01:08:33.860 writing on, you
01:08:34.940 know, basically
01:08:35.580 on on kids
01:08:38.120 school paper and
01:08:39.120 he's putting stars
01:08:40.040 on it.
01:08:40.380 What kind of
01:08:40.860 self-respecting
01:08:41.860 45 year old man
01:08:43.120 is going to do
01:08:43.900 this?
01:08:44.180 If this guy is
01:08:45.720 an adult, he's
01:08:46.400 just barely
01:08:47.000 adult, but I'm
01:08:47.880 I'm thinking he's
01:08:48.940 younger.
01:08:49.360 This is what Jim
01:08:49.960 Fitzgerald says.
01:08:50.860 And everybody's
01:08:51.600 like, no way,
01:08:52.180 that's not
01:08:52.540 possible.
01:08:52.960 It can't be
01:08:53.680 somebody who's
01:08:54.640 this sophisticated
01:08:55.740 can't be that
01:08:56.880 young.
01:08:57.280 There's no way
01:08:57.880 it's not possible
01:08:58.640 for them to have
01:08:59.280 done this without
01:08:59.780 police, military
01:09:00.560 training and
01:09:01.400 experience on the
01:09:02.600 line of fire.
01:09:03.700 And so I said,
01:09:04.740 look, then we
01:09:06.300 have one of two
01:09:07.260 possibilities here.
01:09:08.900 Either we have
01:09:10.200 a situation where
01:09:12.520 we have a 45
01:09:13.820 year old man
01:09:14.520 who's incredibly
01:09:15.360 experienced, who's
01:09:16.260 incredibly great at
01:09:17.180 planning and
01:09:17.680 executing these
01:09:18.340 shootings, but he
01:09:20.460 decompensates when
01:09:21.600 he's communicating
01:09:22.160 with us and he
01:09:23.760 acts like a
01:09:24.480 teenager or for
01:09:26.540 the first time in
01:09:27.460 U.S.
01:09:28.060 criminal history.
01:09:29.060 We have a sniper
01:09:29.900 team and everybody
01:09:31.140 blew up.
01:09:31.760 No, snipers don't
01:09:32.680 play well with
01:09:33.240 other each other.
01:09:34.120 They don't.
01:09:34.720 They work alone.
01:09:35.980 Every case in
01:09:36.680 history so far has
01:09:37.620 been like this.
01:09:38.440 You're a fool if
01:09:39.040 you think it's
01:09:39.520 otherwise.
01:09:40.580 And Fitz chimes
01:09:41.420 in.
01:09:41.680 He says, well, it
01:09:42.460 would make sense
01:09:43.260 because I'm telling
01:09:44.020 you, whoever wrote
01:09:44.780 this is like a
01:09:46.420 child.
01:09:46.880 How can he be so
01:09:47.820 sophisticated and be
01:09:48.940 a child?
01:09:49.740 And everybody's
01:09:50.580 telling me it can't
01:09:51.340 happen.
01:09:51.960 And I said, well, it
01:09:52.640 could happen if you
01:09:53.920 have a 45 year old
01:09:55.240 and you have a 15
01:09:56.560 year old and the
01:09:57.820 45 year old is
01:09:58.960 controlling the 15
01:10:00.340 year old.
01:10:00.940 You said that at
01:10:01.720 that point.
01:10:03.000 Yeah, I did.
01:10:03.700 And I said, in my
01:10:04.660 mind, the way he
01:10:06.140 could control him
01:10:07.080 best is to totally
01:10:08.980 control him by
01:10:10.200 sexually victimizing 0.53
01:10:11.220 him.
01:10:11.780 And everybody says,
01:10:12.580 oh, you're an
01:10:13.120 expert in that
01:10:13.740 field.
01:10:14.260 That's why you
01:10:14.820 think that's
01:10:15.300 happening.
01:10:16.100 They didn't
01:10:16.440 believe it.
01:10:17.240 And I started
01:10:17.760 talking them
01:10:18.340 through it.
01:10:18.940 And I started
01:10:19.600 saying how how
01:10:20.720 this is a
01:10:21.400 possibility.
01:10:22.900 And in fact, I
01:10:24.440 convinced them there
01:10:25.140 was a probability.
01:10:26.400 And we actually put
01:10:28.020 it in the profile at
01:10:29.000 that point.
01:10:30.180 Totally unconfirmed
01:10:31.520 until 11 years
01:10:33.340 later.
01:10:34.320 But well, that one
01:10:35.400 piece of it, but the
01:10:36.180 rest of it would be
01:10:36.760 confirmed within days.
01:10:38.060 Oh, yes.
01:10:38.620 Right.
01:10:38.980 But the part of
01:10:39.680 it about how how
01:10:42.760 these two snipers
01:10:44.200 for the first time
01:10:45.360 in U.S.
01:10:45.780 history were willing
01:10:47.560 and able to work
01:10:48.360 together.
01:10:49.700 One was training
01:10:50.800 the other, it
01:10:51.900 turns out.
01:10:52.500 And Mohammed 0.54
01:10:54.480 was sexually
01:10:56.060 abusing Malvo
01:10:57.020 basically from the
01:10:58.960 beginning.
01:11:04.400 It was unfathomable
01:11:06.660 even to these FBI
01:11:08.140 experts, it took a
01:11:09.460 profiler like you
01:11:10.440 to say, trust
01:11:12.180 me, this is a
01:11:13.680 real possibility
01:11:14.560 we need to be
01:11:15.120 taking seriously.
01:11:17.200 And yeah, and
01:11:18.540 can you just can
01:11:19.360 you speak to also
01:11:20.020 to because the
01:11:20.680 other clue that
01:11:21.240 was in this this
01:11:22.560 letter was that
01:11:24.420 phrase, Mr.
01:11:25.600 Police.
01:11:26.240 You spoke to how
01:11:27.100 it suggested he was
01:11:28.240 young, but it
01:11:28.820 suggested something
01:11:29.480 else as well.
01:11:30.840 Right.
01:11:30.980 And another thing
01:11:32.080 that Jim Fitzgerald
01:11:33.140 brought up was
01:11:34.100 the fact that the
01:11:35.400 tarot card plus
01:11:36.840 the phrase Mr.
01:11:38.260 Police, he said
01:11:38.960 Mr.
01:11:39.400 Police is actually
01:11:40.660 a phrase used a
01:11:41.780 lot.
01:11:42.040 It's a
01:11:42.340 disrespectful
01:11:42.960 thing, but it
01:11:46.100 looks polite.
01:11:47.340 It's used a lot
01:11:48.560 in Jamaican
01:11:49.900 reggae songs.
01:11:50.940 So he said, I'm
01:11:52.180 feeling like there's
01:11:53.380 a Jamaican or
01:11:54.300 Caribbean influence
01:11:55.620 in this writer's
01:11:57.560 life.
01:11:58.360 He said, I
01:11:59.500 can't say for
01:12:00.300 sure, but I
01:12:01.820 wouldn't be
01:12:02.220 surprised if this
01:12:03.680 is a Jamaican
01:12:05.400 American or 0.51
01:12:07.160 African-American who
01:12:08.500 has Jamaican roots
01:12:09.560 or Caribbean
01:12:10.540 roots.
01:12:11.820 And I said, you
01:12:14.620 know, back at the
01:12:16.580 Michael store
01:12:17.700 shooting, the one
01:12:19.900 eyewitness that the
01:12:21.400 sheriff told me
01:12:22.040 about who he
01:12:22.880 thought was a
01:12:23.400 liar because he
01:12:24.140 was a drug user
01:12:24.940 and had lied to
01:12:25.660 the police before.
01:12:27.180 He said, I'm
01:12:28.360 right.
01:12:29.100 It was a guy
01:12:29.940 with a big
01:12:30.660 afro, a black 1.00
01:12:32.240 guy who peeled
01:12:33.040 out in a dark
01:12:33.820 sedan.
01:12:34.600 We need to we
01:12:36.140 need to change
01:12:36.960 this profile
01:12:38.540 from a white
01:12:40.060 van work
01:12:42.220 van to
01:12:43.620 a dark
01:12:45.020 sedan.
01:12:45.820 And we're
01:12:46.960 probably looking
01:12:47.920 for two
01:12:50.080 African-Americans
01:12:52.260 with some tie
01:12:54.600 to the
01:12:55.520 Caribbean.
01:12:55.900 and that
01:12:57.780 changed
01:12:58.280 everything.
01:12:59.340 Now you've
01:12:59.560 got a different
01:13:00.020 profile.
01:13:00.500 And as it
01:13:01.020 would turn
01:13:01.380 out, you
01:13:02.220 got the
01:13:02.560 right one, but
01:13:03.760 you don't have
01:13:04.320 the guys and
01:13:05.220 you don't have
01:13:05.760 the right car.
01:13:08.040 And, you know,
01:13:08.880 still there's
01:13:09.900 white van.
01:13:10.320 We don't know
01:13:10.640 which car it is.
01:13:11.520 We just have a
01:13:12.140 general feeling.
01:13:13.540 And it turns out
01:13:14.360 as they went
01:13:14.960 back and
01:13:15.620 interviewed people
01:13:16.580 who were
01:13:17.560 around the
01:13:18.620 neighborhood of
01:13:19.260 the first two
01:13:20.780 or three days of
01:13:21.580 shooting, one of
01:13:22.900 them had also
01:13:23.840 seen not a
01:13:25.260 car racing
01:13:25.940 away from
01:13:26.960 the scene, but
01:13:28.740 a dark sedan
01:13:29.360 slowly pulling
01:13:30.780 away from the
01:13:31.440 scene.
01:13:32.100 That is a
01:13:33.240 smart tactician.
01:13:34.520 That is
01:13:34.900 somebody who
01:13:35.400 knows that
01:13:36.160 racing away
01:13:37.020 is going to
01:13:38.080 raise the
01:13:38.620 awareness and
01:13:39.380 set off the
01:13:39.900 alarms.
01:13:40.780 But slowly
01:13:41.740 driving down a
01:13:42.660 neighborhood
01:13:42.940 street, it
01:13:44.280 probably isn't
01:13:45.000 going to really
01:13:45.480 stand out in
01:13:46.200 anybody's mind.
01:13:47.760 And so how
01:13:48.220 did we get
01:13:48.720 from that
01:13:49.300 point to
01:13:50.560 just a few
01:13:51.780 days later,
01:13:52.440 the final
01:13:52.820 victim was
01:13:53.260 shot on
01:13:53.600 October 22nd.
01:13:55.320 And within
01:13:56.280 48 hours,
01:13:59.700 there was an
01:14:02.720 arrest.
01:14:03.360 And in
01:14:03.520 between, I
01:14:04.020 should say
01:14:04.380 this, you
01:14:05.760 mentioned Chief
01:14:07.060 Moose.
01:14:08.220 I mean, right
01:14:08.980 around that time,
01:14:09.700 right before the
01:14:10.280 capture, he
01:14:11.760 had this message
01:14:12.880 for the community,
01:14:13.960 which still
01:14:14.480 sounded rather
01:14:15.400 scary.
01:14:15.920 This is
01:14:16.240 soundbite one.
01:14:18.880 The person
01:14:19.820 or people
01:14:20.500 have
01:14:23.240 demonstrated
01:14:23.840 a willingness
01:14:24.440 and ability
01:14:25.160 to shoot
01:14:25.660 people of
01:14:26.140 all ages,
01:14:27.080 all races,
01:14:28.060 all genders,
01:14:29.100 and they've
01:14:30.320 struck at
01:14:30.700 different times
01:14:31.540 of the day,
01:14:32.580 different days,
01:14:33.960 at different
01:14:34.360 locations.
01:14:37.160 We recognize
01:14:38.200 the concerns
01:14:39.040 of the community
01:14:39.760 and therefore
01:14:40.740 are going to
01:14:42.580 provide the
01:14:43.060 exact language
01:14:43.900 in the message
01:14:44.800 that pertains
01:14:46.060 to the threat.
01:14:46.740 it is in
01:14:48.900 the form
01:14:49.260 of a
01:14:49.600 postscript.
01:14:53.480 Your
01:14:54.080 children
01:14:54.500 are not
01:14:55.300 saved
01:14:55.680 anywhere
01:14:56.580 at any
01:14:57.720 time.
01:14:59.620 My
01:14:59.720 God,
01:15:00.780 the thought
01:15:01.460 of hearing
01:15:01.920 that.
01:15:02.980 Yeah, that
01:15:03.260 would be
01:15:03.480 pretty scary.
01:15:04.200 And if
01:15:04.760 you notice,
01:15:05.440 the person
01:15:06.020 standing
01:15:06.420 behind
01:15:07.160 Chief
01:15:07.740 Moose
01:15:07.960 at that
01:15:08.300 moment,
01:15:08.720 I believe
01:15:09.300 was an
01:15:09.640 FBI agent.
01:15:10.360 what he
01:15:13.320 said was
01:15:14.260 basically
01:15:14.840 exactly what
01:15:16.100 we recommended
01:15:17.080 that he
01:15:17.520 say.
01:15:18.240 And I
01:15:18.840 think my
01:15:19.220 brother had
01:15:19.840 a great
01:15:20.220 deal to
01:15:20.680 do with
01:15:21.160 the fact
01:15:21.580 that that
01:15:22.000 line came
01:15:22.640 out because
01:15:23.340 he was
01:15:24.380 very,
01:15:25.000 very adamant
01:15:25.900 that people
01:15:28.080 should know
01:15:28.600 that the
01:15:28.960 children of
01:15:29.740 this community
01:15:30.220 are being,
01:15:30.780 of the entire
01:15:31.580 area,
01:15:32.220 are being
01:15:32.520 threatened
01:15:32.960 by these
01:15:33.580 guys so
01:15:34.020 that they
01:15:34.280 would protect
01:15:34.800 their kids
01:15:35.360 so that we
01:15:36.220 wouldn't put
01:15:36.780 kids in
01:15:37.420 harm's way.
01:15:38.640 And what
01:15:38.920 happened was
01:15:40.120 they wanted
01:15:41.260 to just
01:15:42.120 hide the
01:15:42.640 fact that
01:15:43.260 there was
01:15:43.620 a direct
01:15:44.000 threat in
01:15:44.680 the letter.
01:15:45.300 But we
01:15:45.760 said it
01:15:46.640 will actually
01:15:47.420 appease the
01:15:48.620 shooter if
01:15:49.700 you continue
01:15:51.260 his line of
01:15:52.100 communication.
01:15:52.640 If you put
01:15:53.460 it out there,
01:15:54.540 he knows
01:15:55.580 it's going
01:15:55.960 to scare
01:15:56.340 people.
01:15:56.720 He will
01:15:57.040 feel good
01:15:57.560 about it.
01:15:59.300 He might
01:16:00.020 calm down.
01:16:01.260 Because we
01:16:01.800 showed the
01:16:02.300 cover sheet
01:16:02.820 to that
01:16:03.140 letter left
01:16:03.720 by the
01:16:04.160 Ponderosa,
01:16:05.320 but the
01:16:05.820 body of
01:16:06.440 it,
01:16:07.120 per CBS
01:16:07.720 reporting at
01:16:08.200 the time,
01:16:08.460 the body
01:16:08.760 of it
01:16:09.160 read,
01:16:10.640 included a
01:16:11.620 demand for
01:16:12.020 $10 million
01:16:12.400 giving the
01:16:13.360 16-digit
01:16:13.980 account number
01:16:14.520 and a
01:16:15.220 PIN that
01:16:16.060 was from
01:16:16.680 a stolen
01:16:17.080 Bank of
01:16:17.440 America
01:16:17.720 platinum
01:16:18.000 credit card.
01:16:18.940 And it
01:16:19.080 included the
01:16:19.620 chilling
01:16:19.800 postscript,
01:16:20.580 quote,
01:16:21.260 your children
01:16:21.820 are not
01:16:22.420 safe anywhere
01:16:23.240 at any
01:16:23.900 time.
01:16:25.760 So,
01:16:25.980 yeah,
01:16:26.200 so the
01:16:26.700 threat had
01:16:27.420 been made
01:16:27.860 and now
01:16:28.460 Chief Moose
01:16:29.660 was listening
01:16:30.180 to you.
01:16:31.280 It's pointless
01:16:32.300 to go out
01:16:32.820 there and
01:16:33.160 tell the
01:16:33.440 community
01:16:33.700 that they
01:16:34.080 are safe
01:16:34.700 and that
01:16:34.920 you've got
01:16:35.160 it under
01:16:35.400 control.
01:16:36.220 A,
01:16:36.340 it's not
01:16:36.620 true,
01:16:37.140 and B,
01:16:37.520 it's provocative
01:16:38.260 to the
01:16:38.760 sniper.
01:16:39.280 Right.
01:16:39.780 Absolutely.
01:16:40.500 And so what
01:16:41.020 happens at
01:16:41.560 this point
01:16:42.080 is that,
01:16:43.780 and this is
01:16:44.140 something we
01:16:44.540 were trying
01:16:44.960 to encourage,
01:16:45.620 we were trying
01:16:46.420 to encourage
01:16:47.100 communication
01:16:47.840 from the
01:16:49.080 sniper or
01:16:49.880 snipers at
01:16:50.700 this point.
01:16:51.180 And what
01:16:52.820 happened was
01:16:53.580 they called
01:16:54.900 the,
01:16:56.080 the,
01:16:57.040 excuse me,
01:16:57.300 they called
01:16:57.760 the hotline
01:16:58.380 and very
01:16:59.060 unfortunately,
01:17:00.280 um,
01:17:01.940 when they
01:17:02.420 called,
01:17:02.820 they said,
01:17:03.500 call me
01:17:03.820 God.
01:17:04.340 And people
01:17:05.980 on the
01:17:07.040 task force
01:17:07.880 who took
01:17:08.900 that call
01:17:09.680 thought that
01:17:11.000 it was just
01:17:11.720 somebody gaming
01:17:12.840 them and
01:17:13.940 scamming
01:17:14.520 them.
01:17:14.800 And,
01:17:15.420 uh,
01:17:15.880 they actually
01:17:16.660 hung up the
01:17:17.560 phone.
01:17:18.000 They called
01:17:18.340 back again.
01:17:19.060 Uh,
01:17:20.060 they actually
01:17:20.500 wrote about
01:17:21.040 this in that
01:17:21.620 note.
01:17:21.980 Um,
01:17:23.120 it was very
01:17:23.580 unfortunate.
01:17:24.540 Uh,
01:17:25.100 but eventually
01:17:26.080 one thing
01:17:27.660 that they
01:17:28.100 did was
01:17:28.840 they called
01:17:29.440 up a
01:17:30.040 priest and
01:17:32.140 they left
01:17:32.720 a voice
01:17:33.760 message on
01:17:35.040 that priest's
01:17:36.980 voice recording,
01:17:39.260 phone recording,
01:17:40.860 answering machine,
01:17:41.700 sorry.
01:17:42.120 Voicemail.
01:17:42.600 It's been so
01:17:43.000 long.
01:17:43.540 It's been so
01:17:43.980 long.
01:17:44.240 I couldn't
01:17:44.400 even remember
01:17:44.940 what it was
01:17:45.340 called.
01:17:47.260 Anyway,
01:17:48.000 on his
01:17:48.420 answering
01:17:48.880 machine and
01:17:50.400 and in
01:17:51.480 that they
01:17:52.460 said you
01:17:54.420 should look
01:17:56.080 what happened
01:17:57.220 in and I'm
01:17:58.260 and I'm
01:17:59.180 I'm trying
01:18:01.560 to remember
01:18:02.360 the name of
01:18:02.820 town.
01:18:03.100 It might
01:18:03.300 have been
01:18:03.520 Arlington.
01:18:04.200 Where was
01:18:04.640 that shot 0.90
01:18:05.160 fired through
01:18:05.680 the, uh,
01:18:06.660 through the
01:18:06.900 Apple, excuse 0.87
01:18:07.640 me, through
01:18:08.060 the Michael's
01:18:08.780 store where
01:18:09.640 nobody got
01:18:10.100 hit?
01:18:10.980 Yes.
01:18:11.400 Um, hold
01:18:11.980 on a second.
01:18:12.560 Wasn't that
01:18:13.320 that was a
01:18:14.240 Michael's in
01:18:14.700 Aspen Hill,
01:18:15.440 Maryland.
01:18:16.380 All right.
01:18:17.240 Um, the,
01:18:18.420 I'm talking
01:18:18.760 about, yeah,
01:18:19.340 before that
01:18:20.000 there was
01:18:20.300 actually a
01:18:20.800 shooting in,
01:18:21.500 in, um,
01:18:22.600 Montgomery,
01:18:23.260 Alabama,
01:18:24.100 right?
01:18:24.420 There you
01:18:24.900 go.
01:18:25.140 Okay.
01:18:25.440 Yeah.
01:18:25.780 So that
01:18:26.600 was one of
01:18:27.000 the ones
01:18:27.220 that we
01:18:27.500 hadn't yet
01:18:28.060 discussed.
01:18:28.460 That was
01:18:28.760 on the
01:18:29.040 list, right?
01:18:29.660 Not
01:18:29.960 attributable
01:18:30.700 to the
01:18:31.080 sniper yet,
01:18:31.600 but, but
01:18:32.000 other murders
01:18:32.560 were happening
01:18:33.020 in the
01:18:33.260 country at
01:18:34.020 and around
01:18:34.260 this time.
01:18:34.680 And one
01:18:35.220 of them
01:18:35.460 was about
01:18:35.780 to get
01:18:36.040 linked
01:18:36.300 in.
01:18:37.200 Right.
01:18:37.480 And so
01:18:37.840 what happened
01:18:38.300 was in
01:18:39.020 the, in
01:18:39.840 the message
01:18:40.300 that was
01:18:40.840 left on
01:18:41.360 this priest
01:18:41.960 answering
01:18:42.640 machine,
01:18:43.300 they said,
01:18:44.420 look at
01:18:45.460 the
01:18:45.680 shooting
01:18:46.180 in
01:18:46.700 Montgomery
01:18:47.260 and
01:18:48.460 everybody
01:18:49.100 there,
01:18:50.260 because we
01:18:51.140 were talking
01:18:51.800 about the
01:18:52.440 first days
01:18:53.180 of shootings
01:18:53.780 in Montgomery
01:18:54.660 County,
01:18:55.160 thought it
01:18:56.120 was Montgomery
01:18:56.900 County,
01:18:57.500 Maryland.
01:18:58.180 But somebody
01:18:59.400 came up
01:18:59.840 with the
01:19:00.080 idea,
01:19:01.020 hmm,
01:19:01.820 maybe he's
01:19:02.320 talking about
01:19:03.140 Montgomery,
01:19:04.420 Alabama.
01:19:05.460 It could
01:19:06.280 be.
01:19:07.280 And so
01:19:07.740 they looked
01:19:08.400 at to see
01:19:09.060 if there
01:19:09.280 were any
01:19:09.740 unsolved
01:19:10.620 shootings
01:19:11.000 there.
01:19:11.520 And yes,
01:19:12.600 there was
01:19:13.280 a store
01:19:13.940 and somebody
01:19:16.520 came in
01:19:17.460 and picked
01:19:20.160 up a
01:19:20.500 magazine and
01:19:21.640 then left.
01:19:22.500 And then a
01:19:22.820 couple of
01:19:23.120 minutes later,
01:19:23.680 a bullet
01:19:24.140 goes flying
01:19:24.920 through the
01:19:25.480 window,
01:19:26.040 just misses
01:19:26.660 a woman 0.57
01:19:27.580 behind the
01:19:28.360 cash register.
01:19:29.940 And in
01:19:30.140 that case,
01:19:30.920 they picked
01:19:31.800 up, they 0.53
01:19:32.860 had picked
01:19:33.220 up a
01:19:33.540 magazine.
01:19:34.140 And let me
01:19:34.480 just tell
01:19:34.820 you, glossy
01:19:35.400 magazines are
01:19:36.580 the absolute
01:19:37.520 best surface
01:19:38.740 in the world
01:19:39.540 for collecting
01:19:40.800 fingerprints.
01:19:41.700 If you touch
01:19:42.800 that, the
01:19:43.580 oils in
01:19:44.500 your finger
01:19:45.300 will interact
01:19:46.260 with the
01:19:47.840 photograph
01:19:48.760 that's on
01:19:49.660 the cover
01:19:50.140 and it
01:19:50.980 actually burns
01:19:51.880 it in
01:19:52.240 permanently,
01:19:53.200 burns your
01:19:53.600 fingerprint in
01:19:54.340 permanently
01:19:54.780 into that
01:19:55.460 picture.
01:19:56.640 And if
01:19:56.880 you've ever
01:19:57.200 tried to,
01:19:57.840 that's why
01:19:58.180 people who
01:19:58.680 are trying
01:19:58.900 to save
01:19:59.260 magazines
01:19:59.700 will put
01:20:00.000 them in
01:20:00.320 plastic
01:20:00.960 sleeves so
01:20:01.600 they don't
01:20:01.960 get destroyed
01:20:02.600 that way.
01:20:03.480 Well, they
01:20:04.300 had a
01:20:04.520 perfect
01:20:04.900 fingerprint
01:20:05.380 which came
01:20:06.200 back to
01:20:06.920 a 15-year-old
01:20:09.280 named Malvo
01:20:11.040 who they
01:20:13.040 were then
01:20:13.540 able to
01:20:14.260 track to
01:20:15.460 a relationship
01:20:17.100 with an
01:20:17.960 older male,
01:20:19.620 Mohammed,
01:20:21.140 back in the
01:20:21.980 state, who
01:20:22.400 was from the
01:20:22.980 state of
01:20:23.300 Washington.
01:20:24.300 And they
01:20:25.300 found his
01:20:26.140 car, he
01:20:27.320 had a
01:20:27.760 Caprice,
01:20:28.420 they got his
01:20:29.020 license plate,
01:20:30.600 and the FBI
01:20:32.340 went to his
01:20:33.420 place in the
01:20:34.200 state of
01:20:34.500 Washington and
01:20:35.640 basically did a
01:20:36.340 search warrant.
01:20:36.880 they found
01:20:37.620 a tree
01:20:38.060 stump in
01:20:38.480 his
01:20:38.620 backyard,
01:20:39.580 they literally
01:20:40.240 excavated the
01:20:41.160 tree stump,
01:20:42.040 shipped it to
01:20:42.580 the lab,
01:20:43.720 took out lots
01:20:44.560 of different
01:20:45.020 bullets from
01:20:45.720 it, and
01:20:46.280 matched them
01:20:47.000 to the
01:20:47.500 shooter in
01:20:49.320 the DC
01:20:49.900 sniper case.
01:20:50.980 So we
01:20:51.660 knew then
01:20:52.340 who we
01:20:53.040 were looking
01:20:53.420 for, and
01:20:54.700 when that
01:20:55.380 APB had
01:20:56.180 gone out
01:20:56.740 with the
01:20:57.760 profile and
01:20:58.980 everything
01:20:59.660 meshed
01:21:00.160 together,
01:21:00.860 then within
01:21:02.300 24 hours,
01:21:03.780 they were
01:21:04.040 actually spotted
01:21:04.780 by a trucker
01:21:05.640 at a rest
01:21:06.460 stop,
01:21:06.760 sleeping in
01:21:07.460 the Caprice,
01:21:09.340 and the
01:21:10.460 FBI's HRT
01:21:11.780 team moved
01:21:12.960 in, there
01:21:13.440 were hundreds
01:21:14.100 of other
01:21:14.740 law enforcement
01:21:16.420 and truckers
01:21:17.840 actually chipped
01:21:19.140 in and helped
01:21:19.800 blocking off
01:21:20.660 roadways and
01:21:22.320 the escape
01:21:22.900 routes so
01:21:24.020 that they
01:21:24.440 couldn't get
01:21:24.900 away and
01:21:25.860 they were
01:21:26.260 taken down
01:21:26.920 without
01:21:27.360 anybody, any
01:21:28.380 further loss
01:21:28.940 of life.
01:21:29.780 Jim, why
01:21:30.200 did they call
01:21:31.580 that in?
01:21:32.240 I mean, it
01:21:32.480 was in a
01:21:33.420 way a
01:21:34.000 confession to
01:21:35.060 say, check
01:21:36.180 out that
01:21:36.760 the shooting
01:21:37.700 in Montgomery.
01:21:38.820 I don't know
01:21:39.320 that they knew
01:21:39.720 that they left
01:21:40.220 a fingerprint,
01:21:40.960 but they
01:21:41.700 must have
01:21:42.560 known it
01:21:42.800 could potentially
01:21:43.260 be tied
01:21:43.640 to them.
01:21:44.840 He felt
01:21:45.380 omnipotent at
01:21:46.300 this point.
01:21:46.920 He felt like
01:21:47.560 there's no way.
01:21:48.340 He felt law
01:21:48.900 enforcement was
01:21:49.480 so stupid they
01:21:50.160 would never
01:21:50.460 catch him.
01:21:51.000 He was
01:21:51.320 bragging.
01:21:52.540 He was
01:21:53.000 trying to get
01:21:53.760 people to
01:21:54.980 realize that
01:21:55.980 he was even
01:21:56.400 better and
01:21:57.360 he'd done
01:21:57.820 much more
01:21:58.500 than they
01:21:59.160 thought he
01:21:59.560 did.
01:21:59.800 And now
01:22:00.440 it actually
01:22:01.260 gets tracked
01:22:01.900 back to
01:22:02.380 a number
01:22:02.920 of other
01:22:03.580 crimes that
01:22:04.220 occurred in
01:22:05.120 a spree that
01:22:05.880 had gone all
01:22:06.740 the way across
01:22:07.360 the U.S.
01:22:08.280 where Muhammad
01:22:09.000 was training
01:22:09.720 Malvo how
01:22:10.960 to kill
01:22:11.360 people.
01:22:12.460 Right.
01:22:12.560 And that's
01:22:12.980 the category
01:22:13.780 that we left
01:22:14.900 out of the
01:22:15.320 initial discussion,
01:22:16.000 but I said it
01:22:16.940 was at least
01:22:17.740 20 people that
01:22:18.540 they shot.
01:22:19.920 13 we went
01:22:20.760 through, but
01:22:21.200 there were at
01:22:21.640 least seven
01:22:22.100 more in the
01:22:23.680 month leading
01:22:24.240 up to the
01:22:24.900 D.C.
01:22:25.260 sniper spree
01:22:26.060 as he was
01:22:27.060 training this
01:22:27.760 young teenager.
01:22:28.780 They met, as I
01:22:29.520 understand it, in
01:22:30.240 the Caribbean.
01:22:31.660 Malvo's mother
01:22:32.340 was not the
01:22:33.400 greatest and
01:22:34.580 somehow allowed
01:22:35.620 him to be
01:22:37.900 just kind of
01:22:38.480 turned over
01:22:39.200 to this guy
01:22:40.400 and Muhammad
01:22:43.180 started training
01:22:44.000 him to kill
01:22:44.600 and Malvo
01:22:45.380 went along
01:22:45.820 with it.
01:22:46.840 Right.
01:22:47.020 Well, what
01:22:47.500 ended up
01:22:48.400 happening was
01:22:49.500 it wouldn't
01:22:50.620 really come
01:22:51.720 out to 11
01:22:52.360 years later
01:22:52.940 when Malvo
01:22:53.600 spoke publicly
01:22:54.420 and he did
01:22:55.380 this to his
01:22:56.140 great, I
01:22:58.680 don't know,
01:22:59.520 detriment
01:22:59.880 because speaking
01:23:01.600 about this
01:23:02.740 in Jamaica,
01:23:03.940 which is an
01:23:04.640 extremely homophobic
01:23:06.520 place to this
01:23:07.580 day, they
01:23:08.900 consider if
01:23:10.020 you're a male
01:23:11.240 and you're
01:23:11.560 sexually victimized
01:23:12.500 by a male,
01:23:13.160 they consider
01:23:13.700 that homosexual 1.00
01:23:14.860 activity on
01:23:16.640 the victim's
01:23:17.260 part.
01:23:17.940 I mean, it
01:23:18.180 has nothing to
01:23:18.920 do with the
01:23:19.480 victim's sexuality. 0.55
01:23:20.360 It has to do
01:23:21.020 with an older
01:23:21.860 person taking
01:23:22.580 advantage of a
01:23:23.940 younger person.
01:23:24.540 But Malvo
01:23:25.380 came out
01:23:25.920 and said
01:23:26.380 that when
01:23:27.460 Muhammad picked 0.99
01:23:28.560 him up out
01:23:29.040 of this shelter,
01:23:30.160 basically he
01:23:31.120 was homeless,
01:23:31.920 his mother
01:23:32.280 had abandoned
01:23:32.860 him, his
01:23:33.240 mother had
01:23:33.600 abandoned him
01:23:34.120 several times
01:23:34.920 already in
01:23:35.460 his life
01:23:35.880 before the
01:23:37.360 time he
01:23:37.760 reached 15
01:23:38.700 years of age
01:23:39.300 and his
01:23:39.980 father was
01:23:40.440 completely
01:23:40.840 absent in
01:23:41.460 his life.
01:23:43.260 Muhammad came 1.00
01:23:45.380 in and said,
01:23:46.340 I'll be your
01:23:47.320 father figure,
01:23:48.400 I'll train you,
01:23:49.520 I'll make you
01:23:50.400 a man.
01:23:50.780 And he
01:23:51.780 slowly was
01:23:53.020 grooming him
01:23:53.760 into this
01:23:54.320 sexual
01:23:54.660 victimization
01:23:55.360 and he
01:23:56.040 was also
01:23:56.740 training him
01:23:58.680 to become
01:23:59.580 a killer.
01:24:00.300 At first,
01:24:01.420 it was target
01:24:02.300 practice and
01:24:03.120 then it
01:24:03.440 evolved into
01:24:04.540 human
01:24:05.520 murder.
01:24:08.500 Sick.
01:24:10.060 Very.
01:24:10.980 The car,
01:24:12.020 can we talk
01:24:12.500 about it?
01:24:12.860 Because once
01:24:13.780 you guys got
01:24:14.700 to look at
01:24:15.000 the car,
01:24:16.080 things would
01:24:16.400 become much
01:24:16.900 more clear
01:24:17.500 about how
01:24:18.480 they were
01:24:18.840 getting away
01:24:19.380 with this,
01:24:20.480 how they
01:24:20.840 were approaching,
01:24:22.400 can you talk
01:24:23.000 about what
01:24:23.420 the car told
01:24:24.300 you?
01:24:25.080 Yeah,
01:24:25.460 sure.
01:24:25.720 Well,
01:24:25.940 first of all,
01:24:26.580 the car was
01:24:27.060 a very old
01:24:28.360 Caprice,
01:24:29.340 one of these
01:24:30.100 large,
01:24:31.060 oversized cars
01:24:32.000 that would
01:24:32.440 never make
01:24:32.980 it today
01:24:33.360 because it's
01:24:34.560 so big
01:24:35.220 and it's
01:24:35.880 a gas guzzler.
01:24:37.500 What they did
01:24:38.280 was they cut
01:24:38.980 a little hole
01:24:39.760 out in the
01:24:40.860 back by the
01:24:41.640 license plate
01:24:42.380 so that you
01:24:43.780 could basically
01:24:44.640 fold down the
01:24:45.640 seats and lay
01:24:46.900 inside and
01:24:48.260 stick just
01:24:49.080 the point
01:24:49.520 of the rifle
01:24:50.100 out of the
01:24:51.360 rifle barrel
01:24:52.040 out of that
01:24:52.940 hole and there
01:24:54.200 was enough
01:24:54.600 room for you
01:24:55.220 to see the
01:24:55.960 sight to
01:24:56.560 sight your
01:24:57.100 target but
01:24:58.400 you can also
01:24:58.900 see how it
01:25:00.360 would limit
01:25:00.920 them from
01:25:01.880 shooting very
01:25:03.220 high or very
01:25:04.080 low because
01:25:04.780 you have a
01:25:06.240 very limited
01:25:07.040 entrance where
01:25:09.680 the gun
01:25:11.700 barrel could
01:25:12.500 be protruding
01:25:13.580 from.
01:25:14.420 So most of
01:25:15.460 the sound of
01:25:16.100 the shot is
01:25:16.720 going to be
01:25:17.060 contained within
01:25:18.060 that trunk.
01:25:19.860 If they
01:25:20.740 weren't wearing
01:25:21.460 headphones in
01:25:22.440 there they
01:25:23.020 would have
01:25:23.640 blown their
01:25:24.360 their eardrums
01:25:25.480 out if they
01:25:26.120 kept firing
01:25:26.700 that weapon
01:25:27.200 in such a
01:25:27.660 closed space
01:25:28.220 but we
01:25:29.200 understand that
01:25:29.940 a number of
01:25:30.620 the shootings
01:25:31.180 were done
01:25:32.000 by Muhammad
01:25:32.780 and some of
01:25:33.920 them were
01:25:34.480 quote training
01:25:35.460 shots done
01:25:36.460 by Malvo.
01:25:37.980 Wow.
01:25:39.100 They may have
01:25:39.740 been the ones
01:25:40.400 that people
01:25:41.140 survived because
01:25:42.760 it's very
01:25:43.740 difficult for us
01:25:44.500 to think
01:25:44.920 that Malvo 0.99
01:25:46.180 at such
01:25:46.740 a young
01:25:47.060 age would
01:25:47.580 have been
01:25:47.860 able to
01:25:48.200 carry out
01:25:48.820 the shootings
01:25:49.400 that happened
01:25:49.960 in the beginning
01:25:50.560 and at least
01:25:51.560 in one of
01:25:54.360 the cases
01:25:54.840 we know
01:25:55.820 that somebody
01:25:57.040 saw Malvo
01:25:59.060 driving away
01:26:00.520 from the
01:26:02.160 scene.
01:26:02.560 That was the
01:26:03.120 Spotsylvania Mall
01:26:04.440 Michaels.
01:26:05.640 And they also
01:26:05.980 had, he's
01:26:07.260 spoken about how
01:26:08.520 he admits to
01:26:09.460 killing people
01:26:09.960 himself but he
01:26:10.640 also says he
01:26:11.680 was the lookout.
01:26:12.880 He would make
01:26:13.680 sure that there
01:26:14.320 was no one in
01:26:15.360 the line of
01:26:16.020 fire, not for
01:26:16.880 that person's
01:26:17.320 protection but
01:26:17.860 just so that they
01:26:18.360 didn't have that
01:26:18.980 many witnesses and
01:26:19.760 it was a clear
01:26:20.200 shot.
01:26:21.420 So one would
01:26:21.840 scout and the
01:26:22.800 other one would 0.91
01:26:23.340 kill and they 1.00
01:26:24.080 had done something
01:26:24.980 with the back
01:26:25.520 seat to make it
01:26:26.240 possible I guess
01:26:26.840 to lie down
01:26:27.740 from the back
01:26:29.620 seat straight
01:26:30.100 into the trunk.
01:26:30.860 So I assume on
01:26:31.800 your belly you 0.90
01:26:32.340 can be in
01:26:33.060 shooting position.
01:26:34.460 Yes, absolutely.
01:26:36.540 But what was
01:26:37.580 even more
01:26:38.520 disturbing than
01:26:39.460 everything that
01:26:40.220 had come out
01:26:42.360 was when we
01:26:43.940 found out that
01:26:45.660 Muhammad's actual
01:26:47.860 motive, although
01:26:49.380 he said what he
01:26:50.160 was doing is
01:26:50.680 training Malvo to
01:26:52.400 be a killer and 0.84
01:26:53.820 that he wanted to
01:26:54.760 create a school
01:26:55.640 for kids his
01:26:56.940 age and he
01:26:58.380 would train all
01:26:59.040 of them and he
01:26:59.640 would form an
01:27:00.300 army to just
01:27:01.500 take over and
01:27:03.360 fight the
01:27:04.920 oppression that
01:27:05.660 he grew up in
01:27:06.840 and that kind
01:27:08.220 of stuff.
01:27:08.740 That was all
01:27:09.300 just garbage.
01:27:09.960 What it
01:27:10.340 actually was
01:27:11.180 was his
01:27:12.500 wife had 0.99
01:27:13.080 gotten custody
01:27:13.860 of their
01:27:14.200 children.
01:27:15.060 He was pissed
01:27:15.920 off and he
01:27:17.340 was going to
01:27:18.080 kill his wife 0.98
01:27:18.940 so that he
01:27:19.460 could then
01:27:20.100 regain custody
01:27:21.000 of his
01:27:21.320 children.
01:27:22.380 And what he
01:27:22.840 did was he
01:27:23.740 made this
01:27:24.120 whole plan up
01:27:25.260 so that he
01:27:26.000 could kill a
01:27:26.480 whole bunch
01:27:26.920 of people and
01:27:28.020 then shoot his
01:27:28.920 wife as part
01:27:30.280 of this.
01:27:31.820 Hoping that it
01:27:32.700 would just be
01:27:33.620 seen as one of
01:27:35.180 the random
01:27:35.840 victims and
01:27:37.360 nobody would
01:27:38.040 suspect him
01:27:38.760 he would be
01:27:40.000 awarded his
01:27:41.040 children back.
01:27:42.060 Here is
01:27:42.900 Muhammad's 0.96
01:27:43.640 ex-wife on
01:27:44.620 how she found
01:27:45.360 out that he
01:27:46.840 was the
01:27:47.160 suspect and
01:27:48.160 what she
01:27:49.540 thought.
01:27:50.000 This is
01:27:50.140 Sot3.
01:27:50.460 The way I
01:27:53.020 found out that
01:27:53.760 it was John
01:27:54.600 was when ATF
01:27:56.020 knocked on my
01:27:56.660 door and said
01:27:57.980 that they were
01:27:58.500 going to name
01:27:59.900 John as the
01:28:00.760 sniper.
01:28:02.420 And so they
01:28:03.280 asked me,
01:28:03.920 well, do you
01:28:04.940 think that he
01:28:05.940 would do
01:28:06.260 something like
01:28:06.800 this?
01:28:07.100 And I was
01:28:07.560 like, well,
01:28:08.300 I don't know.
01:28:10.040 Yeah.
01:28:11.380 I said, well,
01:28:11.960 why would you
01:28:12.580 think that?
01:28:13.180 I said, well,
01:28:14.260 he said he
01:28:14.920 could take a
01:28:15.400 small city,
01:28:16.460 terrorize it.
01:28:17.640 They would
01:28:18.080 think it would
01:28:18.560 be a group of
01:28:19.240 people and it
01:28:19.980 would only be
01:28:20.660 me.
01:28:22.260 I mean, I
01:28:23.200 wonder, Jim,
01:28:24.340 did anybody
01:28:25.120 ask her, so
01:28:26.820 when we had a
01:28:28.360 sniper problem
01:28:29.040 on our hands,
01:28:30.040 did you ever
01:28:30.920 think that could
01:28:31.660 be my ex-husband?
01:28:34.140 I don't, I
01:28:35.060 think in general
01:28:35.820 people, when
01:28:36.380 things, terrible
01:28:37.380 things happen,
01:28:38.360 generally people
01:28:40.220 in the community
01:28:40.700 don't think it's
01:28:41.420 going to happen
01:28:41.780 to them.
01:28:42.640 We still feel
01:28:43.440 like this distance.
01:28:44.360 I think in
01:28:45.340 this particular
01:28:46.260 case, you
01:28:48.860 know,
01:28:49.240 I've spoken
01:28:49.900 to her
01:28:50.380 personally about
01:28:51.460 this.
01:28:52.200 I think she
01:28:53.100 was, she
01:28:54.520 was not at
01:28:55.300 all, especially
01:28:55.960 the white
01:28:56.540 band of it
01:28:57.220 and, and
01:28:58.300 all that, all
01:28:59.460 these distractions
01:29:00.280 that were out
01:29:00.940 there.
01:29:01.540 And, and
01:29:02.440 since he
01:29:03.860 never, he
01:29:04.620 didn't specifically
01:29:05.380 tell her that
01:29:06.340 he would be a
01:29:07.320 sniper, but he
01:29:08.800 did say he
01:29:09.660 could terrorize
01:29:10.380 the town and
01:29:11.020 kill a bunch
01:29:12.100 of people and
01:29:12.700 then kill her 0.73
01:29:13.580 and everybody
01:29:14.420 would think it
01:29:14.980 would be all
01:29:15.400 part of that
01:29:15.880 same plan.
01:29:16.760 So what, I
01:29:17.380 really don't
01:29:17.940 believe that she
01:29:18.620 knew.
01:29:19.280 Okay, but I
01:29:20.020 don't think
01:29:20.260 she knew
01:29:20.520 either.
01:29:20.900 I just, I
01:29:21.240 just, I
01:29:21.740 just wondered
01:29:22.120 if, you
01:29:22.480 know, it
01:29:22.700 occurred to
01:29:23.060 her after
01:29:23.400 that threat.
01:29:25.260 How do
01:29:25.820 you take a,
01:29:26.940 you know, not
01:29:28.000 well-treated, I
01:29:28.680 guess, not
01:29:29.100 well-raised, but
01:29:30.300 not terrorist,
01:29:31.660 15-year-old boy,
01:29:33.080 and turn him
01:29:33.840 into what he
01:29:34.580 calls a
01:29:35.400 monster?
01:29:36.160 Malvo is still
01:29:36.980 sitting in
01:29:37.480 prison.
01:29:38.300 I'll set it up
01:29:39.040 with this
01:29:39.400 soundbite from
01:29:39.980 him.
01:29:41.880 Not long
01:29:42.520 ago, this is
01:29:43.300 soundbite six.
01:29:43.980 I mean, I
01:29:46.720 was a
01:29:47.080 monster.
01:29:48.140 If you
01:29:51.580 look up the
01:29:52.020 definition, I
01:29:53.300 mean, that's
01:29:53.560 what a
01:29:53.760 monster is.
01:29:54.380 I was a
01:29:54.960 ghoul. 0.65
01:29:55.740 I was a
01:29:56.240 thief.
01:29:56.680 I stole
01:29:57.340 people's
01:29:57.780 lives.
01:29:59.020 I did
01:29:59.500 someone else
01:30:01.660 bidding just
01:30:03.020 because they
01:30:03.500 said so.
01:30:05.060 I mean, that
01:30:05.720 is the
01:30:06.020 definition of
01:30:06.640 a monster.
01:30:07.040 That was
01:30:09.680 him speaking
01:30:10.020 to the
01:30:10.220 Washington
01:30:10.460 Post in
01:30:11.200 2012.
01:30:12.600 Yeah, I
01:30:13.300 think what
01:30:13.860 happened was
01:30:15.020 a combination
01:30:16.000 of, remember
01:30:16.720 I talked
01:30:17.160 about the
01:30:18.000 genetics,
01:30:19.780 loading the
01:30:20.260 gun,
01:30:20.840 personality
01:30:21.200 psychology,
01:30:21.980 aiming it,
01:30:22.980 and the
01:30:23.660 experiences
01:30:24.100 pulled the
01:30:24.580 trigger.
01:30:24.960 I think in
01:30:25.360 his case,
01:30:26.480 because he
01:30:27.360 was born in
01:30:28.980 a situation
01:30:30.100 that was not
01:30:31.300 only poverty
01:30:31.940 stricken,
01:30:32.840 but he
01:30:34.260 himself had
01:30:36.060 been taken
01:30:36.480 advantage of
01:30:37.060 a number
01:30:37.480 of times,
01:30:38.340 and not
01:30:39.160 just sexually
01:30:39.780 with Muhammad,
01:30:41.240 but other
01:30:42.100 things that
01:30:42.680 had happened
01:30:43.060 to him,
01:30:43.500 and he
01:30:43.740 was basically
01:30:44.340 booted from
01:30:45.020 place to
01:30:45.560 place and
01:30:46.240 living on
01:30:46.920 the streets,
01:30:47.620 scrapping for
01:30:48.180 himself.
01:30:48.720 He didn't
01:30:49.020 feel connected
01:30:49.600 to society
01:30:50.480 at all,
01:30:51.300 and the
01:30:51.940 fact that
01:30:52.540 Muhammad 0.63
01:30:53.060 was sexually
01:30:54.340 victimizing
01:30:55.020 him,
01:30:55.400 which is
01:30:55.740 manipulating
01:30:56.860 him and
01:30:57.740 grooming him
01:30:58.440 both as a
01:30:59.540 sexual abuse
01:31:00.520 victim and
01:31:01.300 as a
01:31:01.760 killer,
01:31:02.420 what he
01:31:02.840 did was
01:31:04.080 the choice
01:31:05.240 of weapon,
01:31:06.040 the
01:31:06.180 separation
01:31:06.700 between the
01:31:08.400 shooters and
01:31:09.060 the victims
01:31:09.660 gave Muhammad 1.00
01:31:11.940 the ability
01:31:12.620 to tell,
01:31:13.860 to teach
01:31:14.520 Malvo that
01:31:16.340 they're nobody.
01:31:17.980 You don't know
01:31:18.540 them,
01:31:18.820 they don't know
01:31:19.300 you,
01:31:19.680 there's no
01:31:20.040 connection here,
01:31:21.000 it's easy to
01:31:21.980 do.
01:31:22.780 And I think
01:31:23.300 just it was a
01:31:25.060 perfect storm,
01:31:26.100 both the needs
01:31:27.320 that this kid
01:31:28.140 had and he
01:31:29.980 had to have
01:31:30.620 the potentiality.
01:31:31.840 I mean,
01:31:32.060 I don't know
01:31:32.540 how much anger
01:31:33.420 and rage
01:31:33.960 had built
01:31:34.320 up inside
01:31:34.900 of him,
01:31:35.280 but certainly
01:31:35.860 being victimized
01:31:37.340 over and over
01:31:37.900 again by
01:31:38.480 Muhammad and
01:31:39.440 the same
01:31:40.880 person that
01:31:41.520 you looked
01:31:41.920 up to,
01:31:42.520 the same
01:31:43.020 person that
01:31:43.600 you thought
01:31:44.060 of as a
01:31:44.700 father figure
01:31:45.400 because you
01:31:46.080 didn't have
01:31:46.560 one.
01:31:46.820 This is what
01:31:47.160 he was
01:31:47.380 searching for
01:31:47.920 in his
01:31:48.160 life.
01:31:48.720 It was a
01:31:49.380 deadly
01:31:50.560 combination.
01:31:52.060 My God,
01:31:52.540 he starts
01:31:52.940 hurting you
01:31:53.660 and he
01:31:54.220 starts making
01:31:55.220 you hurt
01:31:55.720 others.
01:31:56.800 Here's a
01:31:57.240 little bit
01:31:57.580 more of
01:31:58.080 Malvo
01:31:58.440 recounting
01:31:59.160 how it
01:32:00.320 was that
01:32:00.740 Muhammad 0.63
01:32:01.020 took hold
01:32:01.540 of him,
01:32:01.980 Sat Seventh.
01:32:03.420 He gave
01:32:04.800 me his
01:32:05.180 time.
01:32:06.840 His
01:32:07.400 time.
01:32:07.960 That's the
01:32:08.260 only thing
01:32:08.860 we possess.
01:32:10.100 And where
01:32:10.520 we invested
01:32:11.180 tells what
01:32:12.100 we value.
01:32:13.120 He gave
01:32:13.740 me his
01:32:14.180 time.
01:32:15.680 He was
01:32:16.000 consistent.
01:32:17.880 Even though
01:32:18.720 the consistency
01:32:19.420 was madness,
01:32:20.220 he was
01:32:20.540 consistent.
01:32:21.760 He gave
01:32:22.420 me his
01:32:23.060 time.
01:32:25.140 Wow.
01:32:26.040 His
01:32:26.400 time,
01:32:27.120 Muhammad's 0.96
01:32:27.640 time,
01:32:28.740 ran out
01:32:29.340 on November
01:32:30.180 10th,
01:32:30.720 2009,
01:32:31.540 when he was
01:32:31.960 executed by
01:32:32.720 lethal
01:32:33.020 injection,
01:32:34.320 he declined
01:32:35.340 to make
01:32:35.720 a final
01:32:36.040 statement.
01:32:37.020 He was
01:32:37.400 48 years
01:32:38.160 old when
01:32:38.660 he died.
01:32:39.680 He was
01:32:39.980 41 years
01:32:40.740 old at
01:32:41.160 the time
01:32:41.440 of his
01:32:41.780 arrest.
01:32:44.080 And the
01:32:44.560 courts and
01:32:46.760 the
01:32:46.980 legislatures,
01:32:47.720 the Supreme
01:32:48.080 Court,
01:32:48.400 have gone
01:32:48.880 round and
01:32:49.340 round on
01:32:49.920 the younger
01:32:50.360 of the
01:32:51.180 pair,
01:32:51.600 on Malvo,
01:32:52.300 because the
01:32:53.460 Supreme Court
01:32:54.000 would eventually
01:32:55.060 rule that
01:32:56.100 it is
01:32:57.020 unconstitutional
01:32:57.880 in 2012
01:33:00.360 to pass
01:33:01.420 down
01:33:01.640 mandatory
01:33:02.000 life
01:33:02.300 sentences
01:33:02.620 without
01:33:02.920 parole
01:33:03.220 for
01:33:03.440 juvenile
01:33:03.740 offenders,
01:33:04.320 that it
01:33:04.640 violates
01:33:04.960 the Eighth
01:33:05.240 Amendment
01:33:05.480 prohibition
01:33:07.200 on cruel
01:33:07.940 and unusual
01:33:08.320 punishment,
01:33:08.980 and therefore
01:33:09.500 what to do
01:33:10.920 with Malvo.
01:33:11.820 So he'd
01:33:12.240 been tried
01:33:12.820 in a
01:33:14.060 couple of
01:33:14.380 different
01:33:14.600 states,
01:33:15.100 and in
01:33:16.360 Virginia,
01:33:17.420 they did
01:33:18.160 change the
01:33:18.660 law to
01:33:19.980 not allowing
01:33:21.980 life without
01:33:22.920 parole
01:33:23.260 sentences
01:33:23.800 for
01:33:24.380 juveniles,
01:33:25.160 so he
01:33:26.720 can't have
01:33:27.240 a life
01:33:28.220 sentence
01:33:28.600 without
01:33:29.040 parole
01:33:29.340 there right
01:33:30.360 now.
01:33:31.120 But if
01:33:31.840 he were
01:33:32.220 paroled
01:33:32.620 from
01:33:32.800 Virginia,
01:33:33.740 then he
01:33:34.580 would have
01:33:34.820 to begin
01:33:35.100 serving his
01:33:35.640 Maryland
01:33:35.980 sentence,
01:33:37.520 and there's
01:33:38.320 a question
01:33:38.620 about whether
01:33:38.920 he could
01:33:39.200 ever get
01:33:39.500 out or
01:33:39.840 whether he
01:33:40.160 would just
01:33:40.380 be in
01:33:40.620 jail in
01:33:41.140 perpetuity
01:33:41.620 because one
01:33:42.220 state after
01:33:42.600 the other
01:33:42.840 would start
01:33:43.160 executing
01:33:43.640 their
01:33:43.900 sentences
01:33:44.220 against
01:33:44.620 him.
01:33:45.540 I
01:33:45.740 don't
01:33:45.860 know.
01:33:46.140 You
01:33:46.220 tell me
01:33:46.500 because
01:33:46.620 Malvo's
01:33:46.980 attorneys
01:33:47.260 right now
01:33:47.660 are seeking
01:33:48.060 sentencing
01:33:48.580 release
01:33:49.180 or
01:33:49.660 release
01:33:50.600 or
01:33:51.480 release,
01:33:52.180 which seems
01:33:53.260 that seems
01:33:54.060 impossible to
01:33:55.180 me.
01:33:56.140 Well, I
01:33:57.120 don't know.
01:33:57.700 I'm not sure
01:33:58.240 what's going
01:33:58.640 to happen.
01:33:59.420 I will say
01:33:59.940 this.
01:34:00.420 I mean,
01:34:01.220 Malvo was
01:34:01.800 pretty messed
01:34:02.660 up at the
01:34:03.340 time of his
01:34:03.780 arrest.
01:34:04.500 I've seen
01:34:05.120 some of the
01:34:05.600 art that he
01:34:06.380 produced when
01:34:07.280 he was in
01:34:07.620 his cell.
01:34:08.820 Some of his
01:34:09.560 statements at
01:34:10.200 the time were
01:34:11.340 very, very
01:34:12.980 negative.
01:34:13.620 He had been
01:34:14.300 really pushed
01:34:15.540 over to the
01:34:16.160 dark side.
01:34:16.920 I mean, I'm
01:34:17.200 not saying that
01:34:17.780 he didn't make
01:34:18.340 choices, but he
01:34:19.240 made 15-year-old
01:34:20.160 choices.
01:34:21.500 And sometimes
01:34:22.380 that can be
01:34:23.580 reversed.
01:34:24.540 When you hear
01:34:25.040 him speak
01:34:25.560 today, he
01:34:26.260 says a lot
01:34:26.940 of the right
01:34:27.340 things.
01:34:27.760 He may one
01:34:28.400 day be able
01:34:28.980 to convince
01:34:29.480 a parole
01:34:29.900 board that
01:34:30.580 he's been
01:34:31.080 rehabilitated.
01:34:32.000 Whether that's
01:34:32.540 true or not,
01:34:33.040 I don't know.
01:34:34.020 But I do
01:34:34.540 think that
01:34:35.940 the way,
01:34:37.200 at least the
01:34:37.940 way the law
01:34:38.420 is right now,
01:34:39.700 if he does
01:34:40.340 get released
01:34:40.880 from Virginia,
01:34:41.400 he will be
01:34:42.240 serving time
01:34:43.040 in Maryland.
01:34:45.480 And I don't
01:34:46.440 see that he'll
01:34:48.700 be able to
01:34:49.580 ever get
01:34:50.700 out.
01:34:51.220 I think
01:34:52.660 even our
01:34:53.340 current
01:34:53.920 soft-on-crime
01:34:54.780 policies don't
01:34:55.980 go to the
01:34:56.580 likes of the
01:34:57.200 DC sniper.
01:34:58.960 Understanding of
01:34:59.720 the two, he
01:35:00.520 was not the
01:35:01.320 most culpable.
01:35:02.320 But you
01:35:02.780 can't kill and
01:35:03.700 terrorize that
01:35:04.840 many people and
01:35:05.480 walk free again.
01:35:06.700 He did get
01:35:07.400 married in
01:35:08.220 prison.
01:35:08.740 It never
01:35:09.220 ceases to
01:35:09.720 amaze me.
01:35:10.300 Never ceases
01:35:10.800 to amaze me,
01:35:11.360 Jim.
01:35:11.500 These women 0.99
01:35:11.820 who marry
01:35:12.140 prisoners, I
01:35:13.320 don't know
01:35:13.540 what, you
01:35:14.040 could do a
01:35:14.340 whole profile
01:35:14.780 on them, I'm
01:35:15.340 sure.
01:35:15.780 I could.
01:35:16.520 Right?
01:35:16.700 This woman, she
01:35:18.240 started writing
01:35:18.920 to him, then
01:35:20.660 she went in,
01:35:21.580 they said it
01:35:21.920 was beautiful,
01:35:22.860 they were
01:35:23.080 allowed to
01:35:23.420 hold hands,
01:35:24.140 the institution
01:35:24.620 was very
01:35:25.040 accommodating,
01:35:25.680 his state
01:35:26.140 prison in
01:35:26.660 Virginia.
01:35:29.100 He's enriched
01:35:29.920 her life as
01:35:30.700 much as she
01:35:31.240 has enriched
01:35:31.780 his.
01:35:32.560 I mean, I
01:35:32.860 don't know
01:35:33.040 what that
01:35:33.320 says about
01:35:33.600 her life.
01:35:34.860 And one
01:35:35.780 of his
01:35:36.020 original trial
01:35:36.620 attorneys comes
01:35:37.380 out and says
01:35:37.860 he's met
01:35:38.200 the bride,
01:35:38.780 very impressive
01:35:39.340 young lady,
01:35:40.180 educated,
01:35:41.060 her eyes are
01:35:41.780 wide open,
01:35:43.040 close in age to
01:35:43.820 Malvo, who's
01:35:44.340 now 37.
01:35:45.040 And they
01:35:46.600 are, quote,
01:35:47.460 soulmates,
01:35:48.580 according to
01:35:49.440 the lawyer.
01:35:51.000 Well, I
01:35:51.480 think there's
01:35:52.060 a lot involved
01:35:53.120 in that
01:35:53.440 psychology and
01:35:54.060 it happens
01:35:54.500 very often.
01:35:55.340 I mean, it
01:35:55.580 happened with
01:35:56.260 Ramirez here
01:35:57.560 in California.
01:35:58.260 I mean, they
01:35:58.540 made him into
01:35:59.260 a rock star.
01:35:59.940 All these
01:36:00.340 women were 1.00
01:36:01.140 literally throwing
01:36:02.480 themselves at
01:36:03.160 him.
01:36:03.440 It was really
01:36:04.100 Wait, which
01:36:05.180 guy was that?
01:36:05.820 Remind me.
01:36:07.240 Rescindes. 1.00
01:36:07.820 No, Ramirez,
01:36:08.900 the Night
01:36:09.200 Stalker here in
01:36:10.300 California.
01:36:10.620 Oh, the Night
01:36:10.940 Stalker.
01:36:11.400 Yeah, he
01:36:12.520 killed a lot
01:36:14.500 of people.
01:36:14.980 He was very
01:36:15.440 brutal.
01:36:15.940 He was very
01:36:16.320 bloody.
01:36:16.820 I mean, some
01:36:17.660 of the stuff
01:36:18.060 I can't even
01:36:18.580 recount that
01:36:19.540 he did.
01:36:21.100 But one of
01:36:22.120 the problems
01:36:22.700 is that I
01:36:24.240 think the
01:36:24.920 women that 1.00
01:36:25.860 typically will
01:36:26.520 do this,
01:36:27.100 some of them
01:36:27.620 are very
01:36:27.980 religious and
01:36:28.700 they feel
01:36:29.260 like they
01:36:29.780 have a
01:36:30.740 mission to
01:36:31.300 save these
01:36:32.220 people.
01:36:33.440 Others
01:36:33.960 feel so
01:36:36.080 insecure and
01:36:37.680 insignificant in
01:36:38.480 their own
01:36:38.880 life that they
01:36:39.480 want some
01:36:40.460 connection to
01:36:41.680 something famous
01:36:42.880 or even
01:36:43.580 infamous.
01:36:44.760 And it's
01:36:45.440 actually kind
01:36:46.240 of safe.
01:36:47.940 You can be
01:36:48.780 next to a
01:36:49.680 serial killer
01:36:50.380 but be safe
01:36:52.260 because that
01:36:53.480 serial killer is
01:36:54.440 in prison for
01:36:55.060 the rest of
01:36:55.460 his life.
01:36:55.920 So you can
01:36:56.900 maintain this
01:36:57.540 connection,
01:36:58.320 have this
01:36:58.960 proximity to
01:37:01.940 fame, and
01:37:03.220 yet not have
01:37:04.120 the risk.
01:37:05.320 So it's a
01:37:06.800 very, very
01:37:07.580 strange psychology
01:37:09.140 that puts
01:37:10.140 people in
01:37:10.620 this place.
01:37:11.300 But as
01:37:11.720 you said,
01:37:12.240 it happens
01:37:12.720 so often and
01:37:13.900 so many of
01:37:14.920 these killers
01:37:15.540 who I like
01:37:16.620 to forget
01:37:16.980 the names
01:37:17.480 of actually
01:37:19.100 end up
01:37:20.420 getting married
01:37:21.100 to mainly
01:37:23.080 women on 0.98
01:37:23.600 the outside
01:37:24.020 who have
01:37:25.820 this kind
01:37:26.400 of complex.
01:37:27.440 Yep.
01:37:27.740 It happened
01:37:28.140 with Eric
01:37:29.300 Menendez too.
01:37:30.360 Somebody married
01:37:30.820 him.
01:37:31.640 I just feel
01:37:32.000 like these
01:37:32.280 women who 0.99
01:37:32.680 would spend
01:37:33.260 their lives
01:37:33.780 like that
01:37:34.700 when, you
01:37:35.640 know, it's
01:37:35.960 not like
01:37:36.280 every man's a 0.98
01:37:36.960 peach, but 0.92
01:37:37.500 at least
01:37:37.860 the ones
01:37:38.240 who, you
01:37:38.700 know, you
01:37:39.040 can actually
01:37:39.500 touch might
01:37:40.680 be a more
01:37:42.120 fruitful place
01:37:43.000 to cast
01:37:43.520 your rod
01:37:44.640 and reel.
01:37:46.520 I don't
01:37:47.060 have a lot
01:37:48.300 of sympathy,
01:37:48.800 I have to
01:37:49.080 say.
01:37:49.420 I don't
01:37:49.760 think that
01:37:50.120 they should
01:37:50.400 let this
01:37:50.740 guy out of
01:37:51.120 jail.
01:37:51.560 I will
01:37:51.860 say that
01:37:53.100 as now
01:37:53.660 the Virginia
01:37:54.100 law has
01:37:54.480 been softened
01:37:55.140 consistent with
01:37:55.960 the U.S.
01:37:56.440 Supreme Court
01:37:56.860 ruling,
01:37:57.940 they're now
01:37:58.540 looking at
01:37:59.100 getting the
01:37:59.560 sentencing
01:37:59.960 release from
01:38:01.140 Maryland,
01:38:02.000 which would be
01:38:02.380 next up to
01:38:03.080 hold him,
01:38:04.040 and we're
01:38:04.500 told a decision
01:38:05.320 in Maryland
01:38:06.040 could come
01:38:06.600 this month
01:38:07.680 on that.
01:38:08.800 So it's a
01:38:09.640 timely discussion
01:38:10.320 we're having.
01:38:11.060 I don't think
01:38:11.460 the odds are
01:38:11.860 in his favor.
01:38:12.480 I mean,
01:38:12.680 Maryland is
01:38:13.860 pretty blue.
01:38:15.040 Even Virginia
01:38:15.640 is these days,
01:38:16.580 but not
01:38:17.660 that blue.
01:38:18.620 And I
01:38:19.100 gotta leave
01:38:19.500 it on this
01:38:20.480 note, Jim,
01:38:20.920 because you
01:38:21.120 spent a lot
01:38:21.600 of years
01:38:21.840 at the FBI.
01:38:22.700 I know
01:38:22.860 your brother
01:38:23.180 did too.
01:38:25.660 Thoughts
01:38:26.020 on the
01:38:26.880 difference
01:38:27.300 then and
01:38:27.980 now,
01:38:28.440 the way
01:38:28.680 we look
01:38:29.020 at our
01:38:29.220 FBI,
01:38:29.740 the way
01:38:29.900 America
01:38:30.260 thinks about
01:38:31.260 its FBI,
01:38:32.580 the partisan
01:38:33.100 politics that
01:38:33.760 have been on
01:38:34.360 display out
01:38:34.820 of that
01:38:35.020 organization
01:38:35.500 over the
01:38:35.820 past few
01:38:36.260 years.
01:38:37.380 And I
01:38:37.760 know you're
01:38:37.980 retired now,
01:38:38.660 but how
01:38:39.740 you think
01:38:40.540 about it?
01:38:41.500 Well,
01:38:41.620 I certainly
01:38:41.960 still know
01:38:42.700 a number
01:38:43.180 of people
01:38:43.600 who continue
01:38:44.420 to work
01:38:44.740 for the
01:38:45.000 FBI,
01:38:45.840 and we
01:38:47.320 have sort
01:38:47.940 of a
01:38:48.120 lift-serve
01:38:48.620 that we
01:38:49.740 correspond to
01:38:50.640 all the
01:38:50.880 retired agents
01:38:51.840 together.
01:38:53.000 And to
01:38:53.900 a man
01:38:54.800 and woman, 1.00
01:38:55.720 everybody's
01:38:56.540 very upset
01:38:58.360 with the
01:38:59.700 image of the
01:39:00.200 FBI now.
01:39:01.320 And unfortunately,
01:39:02.380 some of
01:39:03.740 the really
01:39:04.740 negative
01:39:05.260 things,
01:39:05.780 I mean,
01:39:06.080 I think
01:39:06.560 the most
01:39:07.040 horrific
01:39:07.720 thing that
01:39:08.660 came out
01:39:09.900 against the
01:39:10.600 FBI was
01:39:11.440 the lack
01:39:12.820 of
01:39:13.420 involvement
01:39:14.880 in the
01:39:15.200 Nassar 0.73
01:39:15.560 investigation.
01:39:16.800 But I
01:39:17.740 think a lot
01:39:18.220 of the
01:39:18.480 political
01:39:18.860 things that
01:39:19.480 have happened
01:39:20.080 are happening
01:39:21.940 way,
01:39:22.520 way,
01:39:22.740 way up
01:39:23.100 here.
01:39:23.640 But the
01:39:23.960 agents,
01:39:24.720 the street
01:39:25.120 agents,
01:39:25.660 the people
01:39:26.220 who dedicate
01:39:27.000 their lives
01:39:27.660 and careers
01:39:28.300 and put
01:39:28.720 their lives
01:39:29.180 on the
01:39:29.460 line,
01:39:29.940 not the
01:39:30.300 administrators,
01:39:31.180 not the
01:39:31.680 leaders of
01:39:32.700 it,
01:39:32.860 but the
01:39:33.440 people who
01:39:33.880 put their
01:39:34.180 lives on
01:39:34.620 the line,
01:39:35.700 they have
01:39:36.960 remained
01:39:37.620 absolutely the
01:39:39.180 same throughout
01:39:40.300 all of this.
01:39:41.460 And they will
01:39:42.280 continue to,
01:39:43.080 and I think
01:39:43.400 that's the
01:39:43.920 saving grace
01:39:44.500 for the
01:39:45.200 FBI.
01:39:46.060 You don't
01:39:46.760 become an
01:39:47.820 FBI agent
01:39:48.520 because you
01:39:50.220 do it for
01:39:50.980 the money.
01:39:51.500 You don't
01:39:51.860 become an
01:39:52.280 FBI agent
01:39:52.880 because you're
01:39:54.020 lazy and you
01:39:55.140 can't find
01:39:55.820 something else
01:39:56.340 to do.
01:39:56.680 The FBI
01:39:57.780 picks,
01:39:58.340 and I'm
01:39:58.760 not trying
01:39:59.140 to be
01:39:59.660 self-aggrandizing
01:40:01.580 here.
01:40:01.940 I feel very
01:40:02.820 lucky to have
01:40:03.460 had the
01:40:03.880 opportunity to
01:40:04.440 become an
01:40:04.800 FBI agent
01:40:05.480 and to
01:40:05.840 work there
01:40:06.220 for 22
01:40:06.760 years.
01:40:07.400 But the
01:40:08.300 FBI picks
01:40:09.020 people.
01:40:10.160 There are
01:40:10.400 hundreds of
01:40:11.200 thousands of
01:40:11.700 people who
01:40:12.120 apply to
01:40:12.560 the FBI
01:40:13.040 and not
01:40:15.740 that many
01:40:16.300 get picked
01:40:16.900 up every
01:40:17.400 year,
01:40:17.820 maybe a
01:40:18.240 thousand
01:40:18.560 every year.
01:40:19.720 And the
01:40:20.340 fact is
01:40:20.900 there's only
01:40:21.500 about 14,000
01:40:23.020 agents in
01:40:23.700 the whole
01:40:23.980 country and
01:40:24.520 around the
01:40:24.940 world.
01:40:25.600 So it's
01:40:26.600 a very
01:40:26.940 picky job
01:40:27.800 and it's
01:40:28.140 very difficult
01:40:28.740 to get
01:40:29.120 in.
01:40:29.340 It's very
01:40:29.920 difficult to
01:40:30.540 maintain your
01:40:31.280 job there.
01:40:32.120 And part of
01:40:33.040 that is the
01:40:33.500 excellence that
01:40:34.240 they demand
01:40:34.800 from you.
01:40:35.580 And I think
01:40:36.940 that that
01:40:37.820 excellence has
01:40:38.500 not changed
01:40:39.320 and it is
01:40:40.060 what's going
01:40:40.500 to save the
01:40:41.320 image of the
01:40:41.820 FBI because
01:40:43.680 literally the
01:40:44.960 people who
01:40:45.500 have laid
01:40:46.640 down their
01:40:47.120 lives for
01:40:48.240 people in
01:40:49.340 the FBI,
01:40:50.080 and we lost
01:40:51.340 quite a few
01:40:52.320 agents in the
01:40:52.940 last few years.
01:40:53.540 some of
01:40:53.940 them were
01:40:54.860 first responders
01:40:55.580 on 9-11
01:40:56.280 and got
01:40:56.620 cancer and
01:40:58.380 others, there
01:40:59.380 were two
01:40:59.660 agents that
01:41:00.060 were killed
01:41:00.380 in Florida
01:41:00.900 just executing
01:41:02.000 a child
01:41:02.900 sex crimes
01:41:04.120 warrant,
01:41:05.180 search warrant
01:41:05.800 at a house.
01:41:06.560 And it's
01:41:07.420 just, it's a
01:41:07.980 dangerous job
01:41:08.860 and the
01:41:09.820 people that
01:41:10.260 do it are
01:41:11.020 good people.
01:41:12.520 Unfortunately,
01:41:13.420 I think when
01:41:14.580 law enforcement
01:41:15.820 officers or
01:41:17.500 agents get
01:41:18.180 involved in
01:41:19.720 politics or
01:41:21.040 political
01:41:21.480 decisions, it
01:41:23.060 can never
01:41:23.560 go right.
01:41:24.620 Yeah, it
01:41:25.140 brings shame
01:41:25.660 upon the
01:41:26.060 whole organization.
01:41:27.380 To your
01:41:27.700 credit, I
01:41:28.160 should point
01:41:28.580 out, you
01:41:29.100 obviously were
01:41:30.000 an FBI
01:41:30.580 supervisory
01:41:31.200 special agent,
01:41:31.880 a profiler,
01:41:32.560 22 years with
01:41:33.240 the FBI,
01:41:34.320 investigated all
01:41:35.080 sorts of
01:41:35.420 cases,
01:41:35.760 bankruptcies,
01:41:36.380 serial killers,
01:41:37.160 public
01:41:37.320 corruption,
01:41:38.540 sex crimes,
01:41:39.640 abductions,
01:41:40.720 homicides,
01:41:41.100 on it goes.
01:41:42.160 But there
01:41:43.000 are only 25
01:41:44.500 profilers out
01:41:45.480 of 14,000
01:41:46.440 FBI agents,
01:41:47.520 and you were
01:41:47.880 one of them,
01:41:48.360 very competitive.
01:41:49.940 So to your
01:41:50.520 credit, you
01:41:51.440 had an amazing
01:41:52.440 career with
01:41:52.900 them, and
01:41:53.200 continue.
01:41:53.700 And now,
01:41:54.600 speaking about
01:41:55.200 these stories,
01:41:55.900 you have a
01:41:56.360 production company,
01:41:57.060 XG Productions,
01:41:57.780 we talked about
01:41:58.280 Am I Dating a
01:41:58.920 Serial Killer,
01:41:59.620 which you can
01:42:00.100 find on Audible
01:42:00.740 if you want to
01:42:01.200 hear more about
01:42:01.660 that, a different
01:42:02.600 host, but she 1.00
01:42:03.400 gets into it.
01:42:04.640 And then another
01:42:05.280 one called Best
01:42:05.940 Case, Worst Case,
01:42:07.140 that's on Spotify
01:42:07.900 and Apple, and
01:42:08.720 you're in that
01:42:09.320 one, and that 0.97
01:42:10.600 seems to be kind
01:42:11.520 of what we're
01:42:12.240 doing here,
01:42:13.120 taking listeners
01:42:13.740 behind police
01:42:14.460 lines, giving
01:42:15.760 them unparalleled
01:42:16.720 access to law
01:42:17.380 enforcement, looking
01:42:18.040 back at some of
01:42:18.760 the most memorable
01:42:19.420 cases that they
01:42:20.180 were on.
01:42:21.480 Sounds like you
01:42:22.080 got a bunch of
01:42:22.940 episodes.
01:42:24.040 Are they out
01:42:24.540 now?
01:42:25.100 Yeah, we have
01:42:26.000 over 300
01:42:26.760 episodes out.
01:42:27.820 Yeah, that's
01:42:28.220 amazing.
01:42:29.100 Yeah, and
01:42:29.860 basically, Francie
01:42:31.340 Hakes, who's a
01:42:31.920 former state and
01:42:32.960 local and federal
01:42:33.940 prosecutor, she and
01:42:35.660 I host Best
01:42:36.860 Case, Worst Case.
01:42:37.540 We talk to
01:42:38.460 cops and
01:42:39.760 lawyers and
01:42:40.920 related law
01:42:41.800 enforcement
01:42:42.200 professionals about
01:42:43.280 their careers and
01:42:44.400 what's the best
01:42:45.180 case and the
01:42:45.900 worst case that
01:42:47.080 they remember from
01:42:48.000 their career.
01:42:48.560 And what that
01:42:49.240 does is it
01:42:49.820 shows people
01:42:50.720 what the
01:42:51.360 spectrum, the
01:42:52.600 continuum of
01:42:53.360 the kinds of
01:42:54.020 cases that law
01:42:55.400 enforcement has
01:42:56.100 to live with and
01:42:57.200 also the kinds
01:42:58.400 of people that
01:42:59.400 make up law
01:43:00.220 enforcement.
01:43:01.300 There's 17,000
01:43:03.240 law enforcement
01:43:03.840 agencies in the
01:43:04.480 United States,
01:43:04.900 over 500,000
01:43:06.160 officers and
01:43:08.220 agents, and
01:43:09.320 they're a very
01:43:10.840 diverse group of
01:43:11.920 people, but
01:43:12.760 only a few
01:43:14.180 make the bad
01:43:15.620 choices that make
01:43:16.420 the headlines.
01:43:17.480 The rest of
01:43:18.020 them dedicate
01:43:18.940 their lives,
01:43:20.160 literally put
01:43:20.740 their lives on
01:43:21.360 the line, and
01:43:22.100 many of them
01:43:22.940 lose their lives
01:43:23.820 over the course
01:43:24.380 or get injured
01:43:25.220 over the course
01:43:25.740 of their careers,
01:43:26.580 but they are a
01:43:28.660 good group of
01:43:29.620 people who are
01:43:30.260 trying to do
01:43:30.980 good and help
01:43:31.660 people stay
01:43:32.640 safe and stop
01:43:33.800 crime.
01:43:34.940 And that's a
01:43:36.100 really laudable
01:43:37.600 thing.
01:43:38.520 And that's
01:43:38.760 something of
01:43:39.240 which the
01:43:39.560 public needs
01:43:40.260 to be reminded.
01:43:42.160 Those of us
01:43:42.720 on our own
01:43:43.780 show have very
01:43:45.100 close connections,
01:43:46.020 family,
01:43:46.240 connections with
01:43:47.220 law enforcement,
01:43:47.760 try to remember
01:43:48.260 that in all of
01:43:49.780 this madness when
01:43:50.520 the reporting
01:43:50.960 hits that's
01:43:51.560 dishonest and
01:43:52.400 politically driven.
01:43:53.860 Thank you for
01:43:54.300 your service and
01:43:55.820 to be continued.
01:43:57.200 Well, thank you
